GARAGE SALE SIGN-OF-THE-WEEK: My husband made me do it!

Silly husbands. Don't they know that a yard sale will only make room for 'brand new stuff' their wives will buy to replace the 'old stuff' they sold at the yard sale? "My husband made me do it" is the perfect excuse!

YARD SALE SIGN-OF-THE-WEEK: Maybe you shouldn't sell Coke

Just sayin'.

GARAGE SALE SIGN-OF-THE-WEEK: Crybaby

Come to my yard sale and "watch me cry..." 

YARD SALE SIGN-OF-THE-WEEK: Is it a yard sale, or...?

One of the more creative yard sale signs we've seen reads,  "Is it a Yard Sale or a really inexpensive department store? Come and see for yourself!" At the very least, I would feel compelled to stop by this yard sale and compliment the sign maker. How about you? Do creative yard sale signs motivate you to check out sales more than the average sign?

GARAGE SALE SIGN-OF-THE-WEEK: Husband Shaming

"Husband shaming." It's like "Dog shaming," only for men. Or is that redundant?  (just kidding men.)

GARAGE SALE SIGN-OF-THE-WEEK: Free Beer

My kind of Garage Sale! ;-) Do you suppose the person hosting this Garage Sale is hoping that a brewski or two will help Garage Sale shoppers loosen the grip on their wallets?

YARD SALE SIGN-OF-THE-WEEK: Everyone's a critic

Some yard sale signs exaggerate. Evidently this yard sale was 'Just OK' and not an 'Awesome Yard Sale' as the sign advertised.
