Dos and Don'ts for Throwing a Successful Garage Sale

ynda Hammond is known as "The Garage Sale Gal," but she's really more like the Queen of the Garage Sale (this past weekend she visited nearly 100!).

For 15 years, Lynda anchored broadcast television before leaving the news business, after she "fell in love with the art of rummaging through other people's stuff." Lynda started a web site for garage sale enthusiasts: GarageSaleGal.com. She also writes a weekly column for The Arizona Republic on garage sales, running every Friday statewide. She also has a new book, "The Garage Sale Gal's Guide to Making Money Off Your Stuff."

On today's show "Auction Kings" star Paul Brown, along with GMA's Lara Spencer, shared tips for discovering great finds when visiting yard sales. Now, it's time to throw your own yard sale!

Lynda says summer is a popular and perfect time to have a yard sale! With kids being off school and everyone hanging around the house... why not de-clutter your home and make money from it?
