The way my LSS has their garage sale is this. You bring in the things you want to sell. You price them yourself. The store provides the tables free of charge. The total of your sale is given to you in a store credit. I've never arrived at the sale when it started, only later when all of the "good" stuff has been picked over. In conjuction, the store usually cleans out thier old/slow sellers at a good price.
