Has anyone called yard sales trashy yet, because it seems like something the OT ballers would oppose.

Nope

Give the shite to someone or to a charity organization. People who have yard sales are RED fricking NECKS.

one thing I'm always suprised at is the kinda trash people will buy if it has a price. Literally sell bags of trash for .50. Those fools will buy anything for cheap.
Women will buy items they don't need for $.50 on the dollar thinking they saved and made money.

Had a garage sale Saturday. No furniture. Just crap. Made $400, and then at 1 St Joseph's came and picked the rest of the crap up.
I am not a fan of garage sale people, especially the early birds.

Sorry, when you have to go to the police station to make the exchange, it's not worth it. Craigslist has become a cesspool.

Your neighbors will love you when they walk outside to get the paper on a nice Saturday morning and see a bunch of carnies and giant black women parked in their yard. Those folks couldn't hit the curb if there life depended on it.

Most early bird & "professional" garage sale patrons are not carnies, heavy black women, or Mexicans (like someone else said earlier in the thread).
They are mostly white people with some wealth, drive nice trucks or SUV's, and educated. Maybe not all college degrees but educated in the field of antiques and business. They have the money to tie up in garage sale investments.
I see the same people day in and day out. We learn from each other, know what each other look for and collect. I am known as the toy, sports, & vintage LSU guy (hence my TD name).
My 12 year old daughter has been doing the curb drag with me for over 5 years now. She has the eye to know what to look for and what not to buy. She now goes to any garage sale in our neighborhood by herself, and has flipped a few pieces for a few dollars. Her biggest flip so far was a paperweight with a tarantula in it. She paid .25 cents, sold it for $40.

The things you make money on when having a garage sale are things you will get little to nothing on by donating it. The government does not recognize the value of collectibles. A Beatles "Butcher Album" is worth as mush as a third pressing of Wham's second album.
Donate the clothes, modern toys, etc, but sell the high end stuff at your garage sale.
I am a 48 year old, sports loving, heterosexual man. Guess what I look for at every garage sale these days (and find them at most)?
Vera Bradley purses!!!
I pay $1-$5 each for them, flip them for $10-$20 each. You might get $1 tax credit for donation, because they are "purses", not designer bags.

I've had 2 over the years - not worth a single penny. Offer to family and friends, donate the rest to a mission that houses/clothes needy people, the Salvation Army and, last resort, Goodwill.
If it's not worth doing that, throw it away/burn it.

you get cash for stuff you don't want.
the question only makes sense if you admit you need the money.
some people make a social occasion out of it. a couple of friends sit with you.
you make a few bucks.
You play the local sports team on the radio and you dicker with the bargain hunters. if you are into it as fun and money, sure.
if its embarrassing try to get the charity to take your stuff.
