First I would decide what your main goal is -- getting rid of stuff or getting top dollar. If it's top dollar, then an estate sale, Ebay, Craigs List or something like that would probably be better. If you just need to get rid of it then price it to sell at the yard sale. If you're somewhere in the middle, price it a little higher. Don't be afraid to price some things high if you know you can get top dollar for them or you don't mind taking them back home if they don't sell. You would be surprised at what people will buy and how much they will pay. Whatever your goal, keep in it mind as you price things. It's easy to get caught up in how much you'll make and start pricing things high, but really, if your goal is to get rid of it, that's not the smartest move. Some money and the stuff out of your house is better than no money because you priced things too high.

I think selling at a large community yard sale is a fantastic idea -- you'll get a lot more traffic and people ready to shop. Make sure everything is as clean as possible and sort like items together. Nothing bothers me more than dirty items at a yard sale, especially those that could easily have been cleaned, but the seller just didn't want to take the time.

You'll probably be surprised at what sells first and what doesn't sell at all. You just really never know.
From my experience, adult clothing does not sell very well. I usually just donate it because I don't want to deal with it. Plus sizes tend to sell better than smaller sizes, however. Childrens clothing tends to sell well as does baby gear, toys & books. I think it really depends on your area too.
