When I half casually mentioned on Facebook that I would pay a person to come host a yard sale for me, I thought I'd get a few likes, a couple of funny comments and the moments would pass.
However, within 15 minutes I had a buyer. Srsly.
So for anyone trying to play this game at home, here is my step by step instructions to DIY this at your own house.
| Thrown together in 24 hours, this yard sale is ready to go! | 
Step 2: Have a great location to have a yard sale. Also have plenty of stuff already in piles in your guestroom.
| I was told there was a Ph.D in those boxes... | 
Step 3: Make sure that your Facebook Friends are already planning yard sales. (I skipped this step, but found out later that this was vital.)
Step 4: Sweeten the pot by offering to pay not only part of the days earnings, but also homemade pickles and fresh eggs.

Step 5: Be incredibly thankful that you have wonderful people around you and toast to a day's success!
