    We are past $200 now, but still not worth it.

    The best time for a yard sale is when you are ready to part with the baby gear and toys that are in decent shape. Did that once many years ago and took in over $1200. That was worthwhile, especially considering it was 20 years ago, and that was a decent amount of money.

        Our neighborhood has a pretty active facebook page of folks offering things (usually for free) for other neighbors. We have received and donated items as well... nearly always some kids toy (like a tricycle or set of matchbox cars or puzzles). It's like freecycling on steroids and its great. Lucky.

        I could see if we participated in a group yard sale, I'd maybe pick like 10 things that I know would sell, because like you said, it's probably not worth all the trouble for all smaller/various things you have to prep and price.

            We ended up with about $500 if the one guy comes to buy my 20' extension ladder today. Not a bad day's work, but still lots of stuff to get rid of.

              Charge admission for folks to watch you climb the ladder. 😁

                  I once told hubby, " We're not selling, we're buying ... space." He liked that concept alright.

                      When you could deduct it I just took it all to Goodwill and inflated the hell out of it.
