I think that depending* on what CD's you are trying to exchange/get rid off, you'd be better off trading them in at your local used music store. Classic Rock CD's will get you at least 3-6 bucks at your neighborhood store. Keep it local - Amazon is causing damage to the physical music store. This is the same for books, trade them in at your local book store - or donate these unwanted items to a library.

*if your CD collection is full of Britney Spears of Milli Vanilli - go ahead and sell them to Amazon, you will probably get 10 cents each.

I have this same dresser! As Jen Chung said, it once had tapered legs with brass caps. While I don't care for the re-do - (you can see the old handle holes!) I myself have been thinking about fixing up the dresser - does anyone have suggestions on a better way to fix this one up? I've considered painting the original handles a fun color, they are kind of dingy and worn.

I would add using a tent or sun umbrellas if you live in a sunny/hot place. People like have a break from the sun, plus if you get caught in an unexpected rain - you're covered! Things can also get damaged from the sun/heat - think vinyl records & candles.

Readable signs are a must, and I think it help to have eye catching things & collectable items easily seen from the street. As a frequent yard sale fiend - I drive right by if it looks uninteresting.

I think having a free bin is great - one year we got rid of a ton of little kids toys (think fast food giveaways) I think we priced them at ten for a dollar. That helped to keep younger ones occupied while their parents looked, plus we made some easy money & got rid of junk!

The only other think I would add, is to use clothes racks to hang clothes - rather that filling up a table with folded clothes. It's much easier to flip through hanging clothes, than sort through a mound.
