What items sell extremely well at garage sales?
I am planning on having a garage sale with one of my friends this upcoming weekend, I guess you could say we are a little late on the 'spring cleaning' concept. Anyway, I was just wondering if you have had garage sales and which items were your biggest hits? I have a ton of great quality clothes, a lot of modern decoratives (for bathroom & kitchen), guitar hero 3 w/ controller, an xbox, a couple of comforter sets, endless amounts of throw pillows, a couple of football jerseys that have never been worn (tags still on), decorative candles, just miscellaneous items, and the list goes on.
A lot of my friends and family who have done this in the past said that furniture sells the best and I have a few pieces that I know are great and would sell quickly. However, I was just wondering what items do most people look for and would sell for the most money. I'm really hoping to do well for extra money for college and I'll do the best I can. I also heard that it's a good idea to sell snacks, drinks, and even some people barbecue? I don't think I would go as far as cooking hot dogs, but I'm sure I could bake some cookies and put out some cups of water or lemonade for 50 cents a piece - just for the extra cash.
Any past experiences or suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance to all of you who answer.

I haven't had past experiences selling but I go to a lot of yard sales and can tell you that the items you listed sound like they would sell well as long as you organize the tables well and group similar objects together. Clothes are better on racks so people can sift through them, not in a pile or folded up. It's all about set-up and placement. It depends on your neighborhood what would sell fast but you sound like you have a lot of variety which is good. The game consoles and sports jerseys appeal to guys, clothes, for example, to girls, and parents bathroom and kitchen stuff. Your stuff sounds pretty new too, so you should be good to go. People might haggle but not if you keep your items at a reasonable price. I don't know how what kind of furniture you have to name a price for the particular piece. Yeah, I don't know about bbq but if you have a bake sale stand on the side, that works too. Good luck!

Probally the thing that might sell the most is the xbox and gutair hero because the games usally are the first to go depending on how you advertise. If you advertise in the paper then put as the first thing xbox w/ 3 controllers for sale and gutair hero also for sale
