About this template
A yard-sale tag has one job: be readable from across the lawn, in the sun, after a sudden rain shower. This **waterproof variant** is tuned for outdoor sales — large bold prices, simple high-contrast layouts, and big handwriting fields, so a shopper sees the **price first** and the item second. The tags work best on **synthetic or waterproof paper** (Rite-in-the-Rain, polyester label stock) or any plain printer paper **covered with clear packing tape**; a **permanent marker** is essential, because ballpoint runs and inkjet smears when humidity climbs. Beyond the price, a clean tag gives the **item name**, the **condition** (Like new / Good / Fair — honest grading reduces returns and complaints), and an optional **negotiation note** — `FIRM` for non-negotiable, `OBO` for "or best offer," or blank for normal yard-sale haggling. Bundle pricing ("4 for $3") and per-item pricing ("ea.") both work; just make the unit obvious. Add a small **payment and pickup note** at the bottom of the pack (cash, Venmo, large items: buyer arranges pickup) so you do not repeat yourself fifty times before noon. Print extra blanks — every sale, you discover items you forgot to tag. Sales tax on casual yard sales is generally exempt in most US states under occasional-sale rules, but check your state if you are running a regular operation. For zoning, some HOAs and municipalities cap the number of yard sales per address per year and require a posted permit — check your local rules before advertising.
