I have sold well over 15,000 items so I am somewhat of an expert. I do believe you can make more money using ebay (or craigslist for hard to ship items) then you can in a yard sale but it depends largely on what you are have. Each week I go out to 50-100 yard sales and find people "giving" stuff away that I can make money on through ebay. Packing seems to be a hassle for people but now that you can print up postage online and have the post office pick the packages up at your house, it isn't quite the hassle it use to be.

From taking pictures, to writing the description, to actually packing and mailing the stuff............*sigh. I often feel like I lose money because of all the time it takes. I now have a minimum $30 limit. If it isn't worth over $30 on eBay I donate it. Maybe I am lazy or just have too much other stuff going on, but it is my reality right now.

I am planning on having a yard sale in June with my two best friends. So we will have tons of stuff and have a great empty corner parking lot on a busy street next to one person's house (convientely located just 4 blocks from me!). I think the location is awesome! So I think it sounds like a great way to get rid of some stuff, without the fees and shipping hassle of Ebay. But maybe I am wrong? Maybe I am missing something? I would love it if you would post some more about this. I was wondering what you think the benefits of selling on Ebay versus a yard sale are.
