First and foremost, PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING. Don’t make it look like the house puked out onto the front yard.
PRICE TO SELL - price everything individually unless you have a box of “anything in this box 25 cents” or “all clothing 1.00″.
Try to put stuff together that goes together. all kitchen stuff in one area, all electronics in another, etc.
Dust stuff off and it will sell better.

I always price my things pretty low and try to sell things as sets. Watch out for people to try to take advantage of you by asking you to lower your price on a lot of stuff. My main thing when I price stuff is “do I really want to re-pack and store this at the end of the day.”
