| great fundraiser
I just returned from a Yard sale that our local High School did to raise money for their first year football team. I thought they had a great idea. Instead of having individual prices for the items, they instead charged a flat $5 per person entrance fee. For your $5 fee you could take whatever you could carry. There were some fantastic bargains. If you wanted more than what you could carry in one trip, you could take the stuff to your car, and return, but you had to pay the $5 fee again to re-enter. They were able to clean out within a few hours, instead of it taking all day. From what I could see, they were left with very little stuff to get rid of after the sale ends. I really thought it was a quick way to raise money. All the items were donated, so what they made was all profit! Most sales last all day, and at the end.....your stuck with tons of junk to get rid of, this idea solved that problem!
