As far as yard sales - people in my area won't buy anything unless it's given away for almost free !

Then you need to broaden your horizons. Get a bunch done and take them to the nearest larger city swap meet...sell on ebay (even parts...like say vacuum cleaner hoses, cords, and plastic pieces and craigslist. Get a bunch and take to an auction. I have NEVER seen a place where yard sales can't make money (unless you live in a very small town). My town in medium sized and the last one I did (and it wasn't all that big), I made $500 or so. Also sell on FB yard sale groups. ALWAYS an outlet, just need to find the right niche.

Money is EVERYWHERE, you just have to know what to look for and where to resell it. Hell, even buying form other pickers and taking the big load to the big city for resale...easy money.
