The last garage sale I did was at least 15 years ago, and a friend and I have decided to clear out a lot of our excess collectibles. We hope a niche market that might be interested in bargain prices (longaberger, fiesta, boyds, jim shore etc). My question is for those that have 'shared' a sale. Is it easier to do a different color marker on each item and remove the sticker at the time of sale (along w/ an update if you needed to lower the price), one sheet for me, one sheet for her? Then we just add up the sheets at the end, deduct advertising etc and that's each of our profits?

I had one person recommend just sharing the location and ad cost, but essentially setting up to pay stations and keeping everything separate, especially if each of us wants to keep autonomy on lowering prices.

Can anyone address how it worked (or didn't so well) for them when sharing a sale? Or other tips for this slightly different (collectible focus..probably a table or two of housewares like calphlon, kitchenaid, etc) to get the best response? Thanks!
