If its big stuff, then I would price it. Keep the pricing very simple and be prepared for low offers from people.
YOu could do fill a bag for $1, $2, $5 or something like that.
They can be pretty full on, so maybe having someone to help keep an eye on things would be good.
If you are wanting to make a bit of cash also, having a sausage sizzle at the same time is quite a good money maker!
We have had a few and I didn't have that much change on me...we pretty much just accepted whatever people had in their wallet or whatever they offered.
I'd get a float of some kind, $20 in change maybe and great idea to have some helpers just keeping an eye out for goings on and two people able to sell / make decisions... and someone else on tea and toast duty!
I'd put things like kids toys or clothes in a box labled 'All Items $1' for eg, I remember the pricing used to take Mum hours the night before!
We usually have about $20 - $30 in coins - some people pay in notes for things that dont cost much! We had a garage sale a few months ago and wanted to get rid of stuff so priced everything really cheap and made about $500. Clothes, towels etc were $1 and we had a few bigger things like a heater, couch which we charged more for.
It is so full on, when we opened our garage door at 7am on a freezing cold winters morning there were about 10 people that ran in and grabbed armfuls of stuff - scary!! I usually get my mum or sis to help out and its heaps of fun.
