I second Craig's List - had precisely your experience 3 or 4 years ago. Used Craig's List & now have an annual driveway sale. This year I have to get the yard sale "permit" ($1) & adhere to no more than 2 yard sales a month, 4 a year, due to my middle aged neighbor's BF (think "Young Frankenstein") who seems to think the entire cul-de-sac is his driveway (which I understand based upon his demonstrated driving ability after much exposure to 2 carbon fragments).

Anyway Criag's list & Yard sale work super well for my extras. Oh, I donate mine also (it's my charitable giving) - average 1500 - 1700 plants a year to local churches, community gardens, teen centers, after school programs, county wellness programs, even a local county jail (think tax deduction for whatever amount you sell a plant for). Last year our local big box stores were selling tomato plants in 4 inch pots for $3.49 each. I sold plenty at $2 apiece. Covered the costs of my addiction well.

Try it, you will like it!
