NEW YORK - Many people see spring and summer as a time to de-clutter and clean house, and they're glad to make a few bucks selling the extras. But there are more and less effective ways to sell castoffs.
Hint: Probably avoid the example of Will Ferrell's character in "Everything Must Go"!
Here are five tips for profiting from your treasures.
— ADVERTISE: The more people know about your sale, the more will come. Pepper the neighborhood with brightly colored signs, and advertise on Craiglist and websites like yardsalesearch.com, in your local newspaper and on bulletin boards.
"The most important thing is getting people to your yard sale," says Chris Heiska, founder of yardsalequeen.com, one of the oldest yard sale sites on the Web. "Even if you have the best-organized yard sale, if you don't have customers, that's a problem."
