    most of the customers have already been and gone by the official opening time!

    So true! :rotfl:

    Another piece of good news - I made some for sale signs with printed pics of some large outdoor play toys, put prices on them and stood them at my pitch. Had a couple of enquiries, so gave them my phone number - but no follow up calls came yesterday.

    Got home tonight to a phone call and I've sold one of them! So another £14 to add to the £87.80 = £101.80 :T

    Well done! You are getting the hang of it now!

    One other idea for you - do you live either on a busy road or just off one? If yes do a garage sale/drive sale - photocopy leaflets (four per A4 page - free if copied at work) post them through the letterboxes of nearby roads, advertise in local newsagents or shops and put a board at the top of your road on the day of the sale saying garage sale this way. We did one on Saturday and between two houses took around £250.00. Even got a sun tan for free!

    Hey, nice one BargainJunky :T

    I'm thinking about doing a garage sale - just we're in a small cul-de-sac, a fair way from a main road and there's no parking space apart from on our own driveways.

    However, you and your neighbours doing one sounds like a great idea - maybe I could persuade some of them to do one too. They're a friendly, sociable bunch. Hmmm...you got me thinking now! Thanks!
