Unless you live on a busy street with a lot of drive-by traffic, having good, readable, yardsale signs really can help direct people to your yardsale. Since I go to yardsales every chance I get, I see the whole range of signs, from the good to the very bad. You know a good yardsale sign when you see it: readable and has the pertinent information on it (like street, and date) and a big fat arrow. And it's not a sign for a yardsale that happened three weeks ago.

Some signs with their poor spelling, may just end up on my website. Anyone need some clotes?


My first time at a "rumage" sale. Didn't buy a thing. (Now had it been a Minnesota Vikings blow-up doll, that would have been a different story).


Here's a bad sign - now the creator may be a good artist, but I had to literally get about 2 feet from the sign in order to read it. Many people wouldn't have bothered.


What usually happens when people use regular poster board...ugghh...


These just caught my attention:




Spotted this sign, apparently made out of kryptonite, in snowy upstate NY in December 2007 for an August moving sale (take your signs down people, and if you don't, I hope the Yardsale Gods send customers from Hell to your next sale!)


Hard to miss this sign for sale on VArDs. However, the sign was so damn big, it was a traffic hazard, blocking the view of oncoming traffic. Bigger is not always better.


Thankfully, some people have great signs. Here's one where the person used attached their sign to a box (which they weighed down)
