Things always slow down a lot by November, and then by March all the regular sale-hounds are really crazed and desperate for scores. (Which makes it a great time to HAVE a sale, if you can find a rain-proof indoor location.) And, no one has contacted us for our sage advice ... I think Yard Sale Bloodbath is way under the radar of most media outlets! There was an article in the NYT a few months ago about the abundance of (crappy-sounding) "desperation sales" in some town in CA where there'd been a ton of foreclosures, did you see that? It will be interesting to see if there's any noticeable difference here in Seattle once the season really gets going. My guess would be slightly more sales with boring household items (from people paring down for one reason or another), but I'm not necessarily expecting any great changes. We'll see though! Hope you'll post links on Yard Sale Addict to any stories that quote you about this. There are a few sales around here, but not many.

From the time the bottom fell out of the economy have you seen any really desperate yard sales. I haven't seen anything too desperate but I have seen some desperate buyers. I've been asked to comment on this to two media outlets so far. Tom Zarrilli Yard Sale Addict Greeetings,
