I just had a lengthy debate about the cards with my boyfriend. He says that we'd look bad going up to a yard sale and handing out cards because the sellers might be disappointed that we aren't potential customers. I told him the cards are far more professional and less like "begging." We're not putting any pressure on them to make a snap decision. Once it's all said and done, they can make the decision whether they are willing to let the items go for free, and they can make the call. I spend less gas and time running around because I'm going to one place. And who knows, maybe they will keep that card and when they have other items, they might call again. Or pass it along to their friends and neighbors. That networking opportunity is lost if I just roll up while they're packing up their sale, looking for stuff.
