Growing up, my Mom always insisted that we cover the tables first (with sheets or whatever) and it drove me crazy, but she was right! Now we cover the tables every time too. And pricing is a MUST! I can't stand a sale where nothing is priced!

We aren't allowed to have garage sales in our neighborhood but I am going to use some of your tips this summer at my in-law's beach house. In their town, they have a town wide garage sale each year. The only problem is that people are looking for major deals and have so many houses to choose from.
