Home From Diane Schmidt, your About Home Editor We just moved house and while we thought we'd gotten rid of all the extra stuff we didn't want, it turns out we didn't. In fact, my husband is determined to host another yard sale which he thinks will be a great way to not only get rid of stuff, but also provide the opportunity to get to know our new neighbors. To help my husband out and for those of you wanting to host or attend a sale, we have all the information you need to be successful. How to Host a Successful Garage Sale The reason I'm not very supportive of my husband is because we've tried hosting yard sales in the past with very little luck. We always seem to have more stuff at the end than the beginning. But this time he swears he'll follow this comprehensive guide to successful garage sales that will ensure he gets rid of all the unwanted things (like the old golf clubs he doesn't use anymore).

That's why I turned to these tips for successful garage sale shopping just to make sure that when I do go, I'm bringing home stuff that won't end up in our own yard sale bin.
