Mum and I like riding around scouting for yard sales. Now that the weather is turning nicer the sales are starting up again. :-) We’ve already stopped at a few and scored some good deals. As I mentioned in the post about the rather disappointing opening day at the flea market we’ve even had an addition to the family at one of the sales this year.
Where I get peeved is when people post bad signs. Over the past few years I’ve noticed a trend where people have started putting their address on their signs instead of an arrow. Some have even posted signs printed on their computer with not more than 72 point text and a full inventory of what they have to sell.
HOW THE BLODY HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO READ THAT
AS I’M DRIVING BY IN MY CAR?!
Sorry. I get a little peeved…
So in an attempt to save myself from (another) full-on melt-down over it I have written a special web page dedicated to proper signage for yard sales, garage sales, tag sales and all similar types of events that one may wish to direct people to via homespun signage.
I have even provided two styles of signs that can be downloaded for free and printed on your very own laser printer. The larger set is even customizable.
You can find my signage tutorial and the free downloads at Beetlemania, my original web site.
BTW: If you happen to be looking for yard sales in the Boston Northwest/Merrimack area on Craigslist you may see my ad for the signs web page. I posted the first iteration of that for the year last night.
