the area I live in is so far from town.....So i need another area to have a yard sale. I phoned the Winn-Dixie parking lot where I see people set up sometimes and they told me those people arent allowed to be there and get run off sometimes. Well, I don't want to set up and then get run off!
I just really want to have a yard sale.....sounds fun and I need to make room in my shed. Where do you set up, and where are you allowed to just set up?

What can I do next?

You could try getting a table or 2 at a local flea market. Then you don't have the danger of setting up on the side of the road or the hassle of getting told to leave private property.

You could also try craigslist and agree to meet people at a convenient public location since you live out of the way.

I don't know of any place you could do that. Instead, why don't you get a couple of other families involved, then run an ad like,"Huge 4-family yard sale!! Something for everyone!! Food and drinks available!!(Free or charge a small price.) Maybe set up a small area for babysitting with toys and a teenager to watch them while the parents shop. Add a bake sale. People love that! You could really turn it into an event. Good luck!

Have you tried school parking lots? Churches? I've grew up in a small town and people would have them at gas stations.

Talk to a friend that lives in town. Maybe they can pool their gently used items with yours and you can have a blast working together. One recommendation is find out the rules in your town for posting signs. I had my signs taken down by local Police... I didnt know that I could not post outside my sub-division. Luckily, I had posted an ad in the local paper.
