I had 2 sales this summer.

If you truly want to get rid of the stuff, then price it very low at the START of the day; if you wait til the sale is 1/2 over to mark it down, it'll be too late, cus most of the crowds will come in 1st half of day.

Try to limit (but not entirely) the paid newspaper ads since that eats into your profit. Do a really good job with signage the night before. I think the paid news ad is important as some people make a day of tag saling and organize everything the day before, planning the route, etc. If you rely on signage alone, you're bound to lose some of these folks
