Help! i am making signs for a yard sale, any ideas to make it sound appealing?

There's not really a surefire way to make a yard sale interesting to anyone who doesn't want to stop at a yard sale. Yard sales seem to have a specific crowd of folks that attend them, so you're likely to draw them in no matter what as long as they see your sign.

I would suggest taking out an ad in your local newspaper's classifieds describing some of the things you'll be selling, your willingness to make deals to move your merchandise out of your possession, and the general info (location, time, etc.) regarding your yard sale. As for the signs themselves, use brighlty colored posterboard and put the signs in high-traffic areas where they'll attract attention (at a major local intersection, for example), but make sure you put directions or arrows on your sign pointing people in the right direction.

Hope that helps!

I think when you add stuff to your sign like "moving" or "remodeling" sale makes people thing they'll be able to get better bargains.
something like "YARD SALE" and below that, "one man's trash is another man's treasure!" but i'm not so sure you'd want to use the word trash... not too appealing for the buyers
