i suck at it, apparently. like you, i gave up doing it.......tons and tons of work, and my weekend spent chained to a table in the yard, for $32.13.
but my friend is BRILLIANT at it. she has a couple per year, and makes a couple hundred each time. she recently did a yard sale/fundraiser to get her daughter an epilepsy dog. she raised close to a grand!
i have no idea how that works though.
for me it's easier just to donate it.
