When I price things at yardsales, I think of what it would go for in a thrift store and price it a little below that. I'm actually about to have another one and I'm going to have everything be $1.00 unless otherwise marked.
Keep change on hand. I get a roll of quarters (I only price things at quarter increments if they are less than a dollar), several 5's, several 10's, and a bunch of singles. Nothing sucks more than turning away a sale because you can't change someone's 20 dollar bill.
I second the "refreshment" idea. We are having drinks at our upcoming sale.
The earlier you start, the better. Serious yardsale shoppers are out early and en masse.
Be willing to haggle. It's better to get less than you wanted for an item than it is to get nothing at all.
