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.

Rain and homemade signs - usually does not make for a good combination.


The dictionary is your friend. 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 2007 moving sale (take your signs down people, and if you don't, I hope that the Yardsale Gods sends customers from Hell to your next sale!)


Hard to miss this sign for sale on VArDs. However, the sign was so darn 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 attached their sign to a box (which they weighed down)


I went to this yardsale in April 2008 (got some great stuff!) and of course I had to ask where they got their signs. The husband works for a graphics/sign company. Of course.
