I had a couple of freebie boxes at my last yard sale.   One was for old
plastic containers that I didn't use anymore.   People loved it, and they
took a lot away.

I also had a box of makeup and other cosmetics that I maybe tried a color
and didn't like it or something.   I wrote free on that, and the women went
CRAZY taking all my old makeup away.   I was so happy that some of that
stuff maybe did someone some good.

I also had a small stash of burger king kids meal toys.   I gave one of
those away to any child who came with a parent.   Kept the kids occupied
while their mother checked out the sale.

We did 99% of our sales on Saturday and Sunday almost nothing.

My last yard sale I made $650.00 -  Not too bad for a weekend's work.   I
had a whole load of leftover stuff I gave some to the firehouse for their
white elephant sale, and the rest I donated to a local charity.

A few items I just put in a box and stored them back up in the attic.   They
were too good to give away, and for some reason they didn't sell this time
around.   Maybe next time.
