    Question What wouldn't you sell at a yard sale?

    Underwear of any type. I also wouldn't sell pillows.

    I am with you underwear is a big nonono for me, pillows too... I don't think, even if they were clean, I would want to sell those portable comode things or anything to do with the potty.... (Thinking of dd who is two and potty training with a potty seat that fits onto the toilet. I would never try to let another child use it.... LOL)

    LOL some sales I've been to have had no such problem. I'm thinking of a bedside commode, and then there was a bedpan I saw once but underwear seems to be a common no no thank goodness.

    I wouldn't sell either. And I agree with pillows.

    Definitely no undergarments. No food or pillows either. Even sheets are a stretch for me to sell or buy at a yard sale/thrift shop.

    Underwear for me. I will sell throw pillow though. About anything else was fair game though. I no longer have yard sales for around here we mostly have rich (which we are not) retired people so you just can't make anything anymore at a yard sale.

    I'd never buy a pillow, but I might try to sell about anything.
    We have two potty chairs (hard plastic) from yard sales. The toilet is often cleaner than the kitchen sink.
