Psychology. The sign gets extra attention and also makes one think the people holding the sale might be stupid and not know the value of the items they're selling.

MODERATORS
My thoughts exactly. Like the intentional typos in the titles of reddit posts.
Well, people definitely notice the sign.
Kind of like what I used to do on reddit. If no one is answering someone else's post for over an hour that I also would like to have the answer to, I'll post the wrong answer to the question in a believable way and someone will instantly correct me.
Boom. Question answered.
From my recent garage sale:
YOU'RE WRONG THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!
wait?
heh heh
Good try buddy. I'm not falling for that old trick.
Well, actually... If you look at this venn diagram you will clearly see just how wrong you are.
HA HA YOU FOOL!!! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! I knew the cheese was on the Nachos the whole time!
I spent the last few years building up an immunity to nachos and bacon powder.
Correlary: use a female-sounding username with a cutesy icon (e.g. flowers, butterflies, etc) and you're more likely to get the help you need.
Its like they went to the same school!
Aww, look at the little hortlets.
Random Red Shirt:
Sir! We're detecting... they... they read like Hitler particle emissions but... something's off...
Kirk:
Hortler.
Those are home schooled idiots. They can point out where god lives and find their way to the Walmart... but that's about the extent of their educations. Interestingly - the dumbing of America started under Reagan, picked up speed under Bush 1, kicked into overdrive under Bush 2, and if you haven't seen what Devos did to the DoE while "running it" - well... you'd be shocked when you discovered 50% of American high school graduates can't read, write, critically think, or do simple math.
Yep! You guessed it! They've gone on to become the morons in the red hats. Almost like the republicans were counting on them being there.
This is next level marketing. I need a new yarb and I wouldn't know about the yarb sale if it wasn't for the typo which isn't even a real typo but just a small letter around big ones once you think about it. You're part of their guerrilla marketing strategy
My brain autocorrected the first three I read. I felt like I was missing the punchline, so I started over to notice.
You should see the condom ads in my neighborhood. Little ones happily throwing litter on the ground without any parent in sight.
Tag yourself! I'm BIG YALE.
YARE YARE DAZE (sale)
Obedience and conformity.
Same as always.
Those people were home schooled
Yale Sale
Alright! Deals on an Ivy League education!
Look, we all can't get into Yal6, okay.
Getting into Yale is easy! It's yust getting out that's hard.
shamelessly stolen
Homeschooling?
"yard sard" kind of appeals to me tbh. I'd like to know what goes on at a yard sard, it intrigues me
YARE YARE
Big Yale is where I got my diploma
