yard sale time

this saturday (5/2), we'll be having a yard sale to help us raise funds. some friends and family have been gracious enough to donate items for us to sell. yesterday we went out on yard sale trip in hopes to land a good deal for the baby, but we're certain that one of our friends (who is a professional yard-sale-shopper) bought all the good ones.

other than advertising in the classifieds, craigslist, and sticking poster board signs at intersections, are there any good ways to get traffic? we're thinking about writing on the windows of our cars so all the drivers in middle tennessee will know about it.

any other ideas?

  1. Tell nearby convenience stores it's a adoption fundraiser and ask if you can put a flyer on their door for Thurs.,Fri and Sat only. Many will comply if it isn't up for weeks!

  2. I would put and ad in the paper. People really look at that when planning their trips to yard sales! Can't wait to come wheel and deal for you!

  3. I say post an ad on craigslist daily! I found your blog through Jamie. We adopted through BCS in Nashville in October 2007. Hopefully things go super fast for you guys!

  4. How did the yard sale work out for you? My husband and I are just starting the adoption process through BCS. We are waiting for the information meeting before we can begin the home study process. Would you mind emailing me your experience with the fundraising at amyprikazsky@gmail.com ?
