    That’s AhMazing! Way to motivate and get your space ready for more goodies. Of course you gave a bunch away, that’s just your kind spirit. Good Karma for sure, it’s nice to allow others to enjoy the things that didn’t fit with you! $200 is a big win in my book! Make it a marvelous rest of the day!!

    • @TheCheapChick

    Great Job Melissa! I enjoyed this video a lot. I wish I would have been able to come and see your table! I've done a few yard sales and read some blogs that clothes are never really a good selling item (unless it's baby or kids). One tip to be able to sell it all is to put them in bundles by size or style and sell for a low price that way less popular items also get bought.

    Next time have some type of banner advertising your channel. You could get more subs that way. I bought a metal clothes rack from Amazon. Not expensive. You should check out Vista print and see about making business cards with your channel info. That way you can always have some on hand to pass out. More subs! More subs! 🎉

    I think you should aim for spring so it's not too hot and not too cold.
    I have always preferred a waiter's apron with a few pockets for my cash and coin.
    I had a nightmare with fanny packs with things flying out when I reached in.
    But it's you that has to figure out which suits you best.
    Can you have garage sales from your house?
    That's another way to sell stuff and may be a little more relaxing.
    Happy selling!

    @barbaracilley8200 2 года назад

    Good for you. Yes, it can be really tiring. The city I live in has a yearly 3 day garage sale. People come from all over. I mark my stuff cheap because I want it to go. Anything left goes to charity. Nothing back in the house. Takes me 2 days to set-up and by the 3rd day of selling and re-arranging stuff I am exhausted. But yes, it’s so much fun. For you that is a lot of work to set up and sale all on the same day. April would be good. June May be to hot and humid. I am overjoyed that you made that much money. Can’t wait to see what you buy next. It was a very nice day.

    Oh my gosh, I know where you were! I get so excited when I see people from where I live. Maybe you'd have even better luck at the Ramona Flea Market? It seems like that place is always packed. It's a shame that the one here in St. Augustine got shut down because that would've been a decent option too.

    If you do it again I'll come. I'm not too far....north of Orlando. I couldn't make it the day you did it for this video, but I'd love to meet you. This was fun to watch.

    This was fun to participate in. I know how tough it was for you but you managed very well.
