I know that a tag sale....yard sale...garage sale....whatever you like to call it is nothing new.  And....I know I have mentioned it more than one time on this blog.  There is a reason!  They are a great way to make money for your Relay team.  They take a little planning....find a location.....put up fliers around town, create an event on facebook, get it listed on the Newtown Patch.  All inexpensive or free ways to advertise your sale.  Location is important.  Who on your team has the best area with decent parking?  Select a time, round up your tables, and then show up with your items at least an hour before your time starts and set up.  We did a tag sale in September on a Saturday from 9am - 2pm.  We all showed up with our junk priced and set it up and off we went.....all the way to $500 in a few hours.  And...we got rid of stuff!  Anything left over we donated to the Goodwill.  We also had a very fun day.  You can take it one step further and have a bake sale at the same time....you can set up a Luminaria and sell those as well.  You just can't find a better way to earn money without spending money!  Yes, it is a little work, but it is worth it!
