So. Up at 630 to do a coffee run. Some punk kids had ripped down my signs and had to fish one out of neighbours tree and the other from halfway up the block. Signs more ghetto looking than ever. Started carting crap out around 745ish. People started driving by around 830 despite advertised 10am start. Many, many trips up stairs with heavy boxes. Not as busy as expected. Occasional jack ass muttering to family about price of a $2 trade paperback. It was pretty boring. After sale had to pack all stuff back up and take it downstairs. Upshot: easier to carry stuff down than up. Also sold set of 6 kitchen chairs and didn't have to make that six trips down the stairs.
Result:
Negative: Despite frequent and liberal use of sunscreen am sunburned on back. Have rash from sun on arms. Apparently so white allergic to sun.
Postive: Profit: $170.25
Future? Will probably try Forum Flea market as is indoors and has much higher customer potential.

Holy crap, $170 is pretty darned good for a yard sale.
Good one.
