  2. Jean,

    do you have to publicise your sale or does it just go by word of mouth? We don't really have garage sales over here, we have 'car boot sales'...where people fill up the boots of their cars with bricabrac and drive it to a field and then people come and root through your boot or the table of stuff you display. Maybe that's cos not a lot of people have garages, or we just don't like people noseying around our stuff on our home turf- you know what we brits are like!

    Hope it went well!
