3. Be careful where you stand
This woman has no idea that she’s standing next to this bold garage sale sign. She might figure it out when someone asks how much her visor is.

But really, all you movie buffs know it’s actually a clever spin on a line from The Princess Bride. Surely a lot of passersby got a chuckle out of it too.
8. Honesty is the best policy
That is unless you’re having a garage sale. Putting up a sign like this might discourage shoppers. So, in this case, lying is acceptable.
Okay, so someone was trying to be clever. But is that the best they’ve got to offer? In case you don’t get it, that’s supposed to be Lionel Richie and a play on his song, “Hello.”
… did it work? These people were very proud of the yard sale sign they made. And they were 100 percent confident it was going to make the event a huge success. No doubt it caught the eye of all the

90 Day Fiance fans did). Seriously, just look at Big Ed. Doesn’t he make the sale look enticing?
17. You’ve got to love it

It’s nice to know that you wouldn’t be handling a deceased person’s things. This individual was kind enough to let the public know. Whether it helped or not is another story.

Look, there’s nothing wrong with using a picture of Mr. T to advertise a garage sale. But you have to question why? The only connection we can think of is that someone has a lot of gold chains for sale.

Lord of the Rings. Whether they actually sold any precious rings at their sale, we’ll never know.
