Boo, I don't know if you are planning the garage sale for cash or just to simplify, but I have found that just giving the stuff away that I don't want is quick, easy, and feels great! You can take the tax deduction too if you itemize. I love Freecycle.org, but if I have a lot of small things that someone wouldn't want to make arrangements to pick up, I make a trip to The Salvation Army or Rescue Mission. Things are gone within a week and the house is getting so clean...I probably donated close to 100 items last month - nothing worth more than $.25 at a garage sale, though. The last sale I had I determined that it was just NOT worth my time and effort anymore. Good luck!
