During a recent afternoon spent waiting for customers, Nicholas Dampier, 8, holds a sign advertising his yard sale, while neighbor Darren Danforth, 8, tilts his head back to get a better look at a Finding Nemo disc in a View-Master toy for sale. The story, in Dampier's words: My mom wanted my stuff to go away, so she sent it to my dad. It was my idea to have a yard sale because there's no room here at my dad's to keep it all. I've got stuffed animals, a yo-yo, a jump rope, a plastic desk from when I was little, and lots of other fun things. My one sale came when I went inside to have lunch. Someone stopped and came up to the house. I made $3 on a few Matchbox cars and a Hess truck. That's all. So I'll be back out here next weekend.
