I would, if they looked nice. I rarely buy baked goods at yard sales or farmers' markets, not because I don't trust the baker, but because they are all tied up tightly in plastic bags and after sitting out for a bit, that plastic bag is full of condensation, which tells me that the baked items are going to be both soggy and dry. Gross.

I personally would not, but I'm funny like that and don't like to eat anything if I don't know the person who made it. (unless it's at a restaurant).

No. Not at a yard sale. Will spending the money for the ingredients cut into your garage sale profits? Something to consider. You would also have to individually wrap everything, that is another expense and something to take up your time.

Nope, if I didn't know you I definitely wouldn't buy anything.

At a yard sale, no, not likely. Unless you're a really cute 4 year old.
But DD and her friends had some luck raising money selling baked goods at the park during Little League games. They were raising it in conjunction with their school's Relay for Life effort, not for personal use, so they were able to get permission to sell in the park.

I would. After all, I'd know where you lived. Fresh baked goods always appeals to me.

Not at a yard sale, no.
I'm particular about where my food comes from.

I would buy a cold soda or bottle of water though.
Fill a cooler with ice, and buy a cheap case of waters at Walgreen's or the supermarket (aim for a sale, where you get 24 waters for $2.99).

No. I have a phobia of eating home made foods when I don't know the person. I eat before I go to potlucks.

I wouldn't either, but the water is a great idea?

No,I'm sorry, I would not. But I have purchased water bottles and a doughnut from a kid's stand at a yard sale. I knew the bakery the donuts were from, and although I am always, always sorry when I eat a doughnut, these kids were too cute. You could buy doughnuts from a local bakery and just charge a bit more for them.

I would not buy them. HOWEVER, my kids sold homemade chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and lemonade at our sale a few years back and they sold out quickly! Almost every guy that came through bought a snack

NO....and in some localities it would be illegal to sell home-baked products without a license....especially if it is not for a 501(c)3 registered charitable organization (like a church or charity or school).
But the water bottle....definitely!

I would not. Sorry!
I've purchased baked goods from a couple of Amish families at a flea market-type thing. Only time I've bought food from someone I don't know.

I'm sorry, but no. Heck, I'm funny about buying baked goods that are sold during our church holiday fair and I know most of the people that bake the stuff. Sort of silly I guess since I have no problem eating out - it's just the 'homemade' stuff I'm weird about. I would be bottled water though

I don't eat anything unless I know who made it. My mom buys weekly from a lady at the local Farmer's Market, but they go to church together.

I think it would depend on how they were packaged. I have a friend who caters out of her home and is very professional in her cooking methods and packaging of her foods. I would absolutely buy them from someone like that.
I agree with the others though, I think you would do better with selling bottled water and other bottled drinks, and your profit margin might be higher with those as well. Good luck on your sale!

I was going to suggest the bottled drinks as well. I think with ingredients and your time, you will have more invested in the baked goods than your returns will show.
