How to avoid a garage sale letdown
Published on - July 24th, 2013 (Modified on - July 26th, 2013) (by Holly Johnson)
This post is from staff writer Holly Johnson.
A few years ago, I prepared for a garage sale that I was sure would be an epic success. Based on the sheer volume of widgets, random household items and baby gear that I had to sell, I envisioned pulling in hundreds of dollars in profit with ease. After all, I had tubs of baby clothes and toys, some small appliances, and a variety of random items that I was more than ready to unload. My garage was simply bursting with stuff, and I spent several weeks pricing each and every item and preparing for the sale. I also did all of the regular things that people do when they're having a garage sale; I put an ad in the local newspaper and put a sign up on the end of my street. As the sale day approached, I could literally see dollar signs as I began making plans for all of the cash that I was about to rake in.
Unfortunately, the sale day came and went and I was disappointed to have only made about $68 for my efforts. This was, of course, after paying $30 for a three-day advertisement in my local newspaper. My friend, who helped me on the day of the sale, had a few ideas as to why my sale had failed. "First of all, almost everything you sold was 25 cents." She had a point. All of the baby clothes, even the nice ones, had been sold for a quarter each. At a quarter per piece, I wasn't going to be making very much money until I sold a lot of clothes. "Second, you didn't advertise," she said. "Nobody reads the paper anymore." She was right. I hadn't really done much to let others know about the sale. Since people didn't know, they didn't come. Unfortunately, the lack of customers meant that I only pulled in $68 for what probably amounted to 15-20 hours of work.
A change of heart
After my garage sale bust, I chose not to have another one for the next two years. During that time, I began accumulating a lot more stuff. On top of all of those baby clothes, I began amassing bag after bag of gently worn toddler clothes and shoes. I also started to notice all kinds of things around the house that I could sell; toys my kids had outgrown, gifts I had never gotten around to using; and things that I was just tired of looking at. So, I gave myself a pep talk and decided to take another shot at having a profitable sale. And since I wanted to do things differently, I started looking for resources that could ensure garage sale success.
That's when I came across "The Garage Sale Millionaire" and decided to check it out. The book, written by author Aaron LaPedis, provides a variety of tips and tricks for wanna be garage sale millionaires like myself. (In my case, I only wanted to be a garage sale hundredaire!) I also reached out to Mr. LaPedis for some advice on my particular sale. Here are some top garage sale tips from the "Garage Sale Millionaire."
- Properly advertise for your sale. Aaron says that failing to advertise is one of the most common garage sale mistakes. In order to bring people to your sale, LaPedis suggests putting up at least 20 sturdy signs. He also suggests advertising on Facebook and Twitter and taking advantage of the free advertising opportunity available on Craigslist and Tag Sell It. "The more people that know about your sale, the more people will show up," says LaPedis.
- Locate and sell anything you no longer want or need. LaPedis suggests taking an inventory of all of your possessions in order to determine what you should sell and what you should keep. "Make sure you go through your house top to bottom — every closet, drawer, nook and cranny," says LaPedis. "Nothing is too small or too big to sell."
- Know the value of your items. According to "The Garage Sale Millionaire," it's often profitable to buy underpriced items at one sale and resell them at your own. Of course, it's equally profitable to know the value of your own items as well. By doing some research on eBay or craigslist, you might discover that some of your items are worth way more than you thought. And if you don't do the research, you might be leaving money on the table. "You might sell something for only $5 only to later realize that you could have sold it on eBay for 10 times that amount," says LaPedis.
- Don't waste time. To make the most amount of money for the least amount of effort, LaPedis suggests not wasting time on tasks that won't benefit your sale. For instance, he suggests putting everything that is worth less than $10 on a table with a sign encouraging shoppers to make an offer. "I believe that when people are forced to start a conversation about an item, you'll be in a much better position to not only negotiate, but to sell," he said.
- Get your kids involved. LaPedis suggests getting your children involved in the sale. This could mean having them sell toys or clothes that they've outgrown or having a small lemonade stand set up on the day of the sale. "This helps teach them the value of a dollar, as well as helping them learn to responsibly handle money," he said.
Preparing for garage sale success
As I prepared for my upcoming sale, I took a lot of the advice found in "The Garage Sale Millionaire" and ran with it. Despite my past garage sale letdown, I assured myself that this time was going to be different. Here are the steps that I took to prepare for a profitable and fun sale:
- I put up 5 or 6 signs (instead of one!) and advertised heavily on Facebook and Craigslist. As a result, more people I know found out that I was having a sale. And surprisingly, many of them actually showed up.
- I tore my house apart looking for things that I no longer wanted. I thoroughly inventoried every cabinet and drawer as I decided what to sell and what to keep. This strategy greatly increased the number of items that I was able to sell. It also helped me pare down my belongings and cut down on some of the clutter that I had recently accumulated.
- Instead of selling everything for peanuts, I did some research to find out what my stuff was really worth. This went a long way toward helping me come up with a reasonable asking price. And surprisingly, people didn't really haggle with me that much.
- I didn't waste too much time. Although I did quite a bit of reminiscing (and crying) as I sorted through the clothes my children had outgrown, I didn't waste too much time on anything else. Instead of pricing every item, I simple left many of them unmarked so that shoppers could decide what they were willing to pay. Thankfully, I found that the "make an offer" strategy actually works.
- I got my kids involved. I thought it would be fun to help my four year old host her very first lemonade stand. And surprisingly, I now think she's destined for some sort of career in sales! Instead of waiting for people to come up to her stand, she would quietly walk up to them and say, "I am having a lemonade stand if you're interested" or "If you're thirsty, I've got lemonade." I was impressed by the way she carried herself as she learned to accept the fact that some people would say "no."
Thankfully, everything went much better this time. And in the end, I was surprised to learn that my sale made a staggering $508.00! Not only that, but I managed to get rid of quite a few things that were cluttering up my closets and complicating my life. I'm glad that I followed the advice of the "Garage Sale Millionaire" and I'm thankful that I avoided yet another garage sale letdown. I'm also hopeful that I won't need to have a sale for at least a few more years. It was definitely a lot of fun, but it was a lot of work.
How about you? Are you having a garage sale this summer? If so, what is your strategy to maximize profits?
This article is about Hints and Tips
Congratulations, both on having a successful sale and in getting excess stuff out of your house. I've found that my best sales have been when people can see from the street that you have a lot of stuff to look at. Many people won't stop if they see that your sale is very small. I've even offered to sell stuff for neighbors and family members just to have more visible to entice people to stop. Lots of signs are also important.
These are some great tips. I've never been a huge fan of having garage sales, but I love going to them! You can find some great deals sometimes. I'm sure I'll have a garage sale at some point, but we don't have nearly enough stuff to sell quite yet.
Check out some of these recent yard sale deals that we've found. You may find them interesting:
neighborhood or community sales work great, they are bigger draws for people.
I like amazon for online garage sales. Saves times and money.
I could hold a large garage sale with all the stuff I've picked up at other people's garage sales.
I've only had 1 garage sale and I was lucky. It was a combined sale (my sister, grandmother, and parents also put their stuff in it). We had it at my house because I live directly across from a public recreational area, and we waited until the day of their biggest event of the year.
We ended making about $500 (and we didn't have any big ticket items). Granted, some of that was selling cold bottled water! The best part was that many of the things (furniture, fixtures, decor) were items that were left in the house by the previous owner and that I was going to get rid of anyway.
That said, I don't think I'll ever have another garage sale. It was a lot of work, but mainly I don't plan on accumulating enough stuff again to have one. I'm working on the minimalist phase of my life.
As for advertising I send emails at work (a few co-workers showed up and bought things, or bought things before hand), craigslist, and lots of signs at the end of streets…some people just drive around and will impulse shop if they see a sign and like what they see driving by.Also, we had music and engaged with shoppers, so it made people want to hang around, and the longer they stayed, the more we sold.
This is such an important post! My first rummage sale was so much work, for very little payoff. My next rummage sale a year later was a huge success. Why? I made daily craigslist ads that contained links to a tumblr site we updated regularly. Made all the difference.
My wife and I had a garage sale in mid May. We put up signs pointing to our address and posted an ad on craigslist. Here are a few things we learned:
1) People WILL show up 45 minutes to an hour before your start time!
2) Movies (DVD's) go like crazy and almost everyone that stops by will go through a box of DVD's. I had 89 DVD's (before I started reading GRS) and after a day and a half I had 2. Oh, we priced them a $1 each.
3) Greet each person with a smile and a "Hello! or Good Morning!/Afternoon!". It's amazing how much your demeanor affects peoples buying habits.
4) Stand up when someone comes to look at stuff. For whatever reason if we didn't say anything people walked around, looked and then drove off. If we greeted them they'd talk a bit, maybe buy a thing or two and then leave. But if you greeted them AND stood up people usually bought at least a few things.
5) Always offer to hold stuff. It's amazing what people that visit garage sales will buy. Have plastic sacks or boxes to put stuff in. It adds up quick and sometimes they don't even know how much they've picked up.
6) Granted we've only had one garage sale but we made $1,000 from it. But don't do a garage sale on Sunday. A neighbor that has them all the time says they're hit or miss. I've found Friday's from about 8-6 (you'll hit some of the people that get off work) and Saturday from 8-5 are the best times. I've been told that Wednesday garage sales are popular too. Dunno why.
7) Have fun!! You've put a lot of work into getting everything set up. Enjoy the day and especially meeting people! We met about half of our neighborhood. Some people had very interesting stories. One couple that was new to the neighborhood had moved from Brooklyn…quite a change moving to the midwest!
Know the customs in your area. Here, everyone has their garage sales on Saturday mornings only. Also, put a price on everything (even a sign that says "Books $1″ or "This Table 25 cents". People often won't even mention they want something if they have no idea what you're asking for it. Keep your money on your body (a carpenter's apron or a fanny pack work) so nobody can steal it.
Great article. As you pointed out, you were definitely doing it wrong if you're only making $68.
Signs, signs, and more signs is one of the biggest thing (it looks like you figured that out).
The other tip I recently ran across that I see you don't mention here is the timing. Because most people get paid every two weeks, if you can get a weekend after the payday (15th or 30th) you'll sometimes make 30%-40% more because people will have money in their pocket!!!
I've found that a good idea is to combine it with a bake sale. People will come because the garage sale is advertised and even if they don't buy any items they would usually take a slice of cake/cookie/marshmallow thingy. And if they have kids the kids will always beg for a snack. When my Meetup group had their garage sales, we made some money on the items, but the bake sale items went like crazy.
Great point! We recently helped our kids put on a bake sale and a lemonade stand and they cleaned up.
I did a post about it here if anyone is interested: http://www.moneyahoy.com/teaching-your-kids-how-to-make-money/
1)When advertising on Kijiji and Craigslist, don't just advertise the date and location of your sale, make sure to put pictures and description of the nicer items that are worth making the trip for.
2)I also put up ads for the most valuable things like a bedroom set, antique sewing machine, leather clothing, in their respective categories on kijiji and craigslist. Some people might not be browsing in the garage sale section but might see your ad for the table set in the furniture section and come to the sale for it and more stuff.
3)Fill this box for $10 or fill this bag for $5. Anything not valuable can go on tables dedicated for that and you will get rid of all sorts of stuff that people might not buy individually but might stuff in a box.
4)Be pleasant, go say hi. Talk about the items, the history, start the conversation. I hate going to a sale where the owner is shyly hanging out in the back.
5)Ask for enough but not too much, because otherwise you might end up stuck with an item at the end of the day that you could have sold.
6)Books are always popular, put them at the front
7)Borrow tables from friends if you need to, but don't just put your stuff on blankets on the ground or leave it boxed up. People won't look at it.
8)Keep the money on yourself and have lots of change. You don't want somebody to walk away with your money jar!
I wasn't planning on having a garage sale, but this has me inspired.
Great tips and advice!
I am having a sale the first weekend of August during the "the world's longest yard sale" on US 127. I live near it and travel it daily so it is a good opportunity. People take vacation to shop this sale so I am taking a day off to work it!
Overall great tips (and I swear by a good Craigslist ad — SO much more efficient than the old days of taking out newspaper ads), but I would disagree with the suggestion to not bother pricing items under $10; you might gain some sales that way, but you'll also lose some. I spend every weekend going to garage sales, and there's nothing I hate more than people who haven't priced their stuff. Ultimately what it means for me is that I don't bother asking for a price unless I am already almost positive that I want it. If the price is listed and is good I might get suckered into buying it. Price in lump sums by category, if you must. I've also had my share of sales (getting rid of all that stuff that I bought from other sales!) and you're going to make life much more difficult on the morning of the sale if you have to spend all your time answering pricing questions. If things go well, after all, you're going to have tons of people showing up that morning, and you need to keep the sales line moving.
I just love the concept of garage sales! Here in The Netherlands you're not allowed to do that, unfortunately. Once a year you can sell your stuff on the street, that's on King's Day. Many people get their kids involved as well, it's a lot of fun!
If you're selling clothing, sort it by size and prominently post the sizes.
Also, take a practice drive past one of your signs. Do people have time to read it, make a decision, and make the turn, before they've driven past it?
Great tips Holly! Advertising is the biggest key.
As a yardsale shopper, I get turned off when sellers say "make an offer" because chances are my offer will be a quarter. When I have a garage sale, I price a good majority of the stuff, using garage sale stickers purchased at the dollar store. I agree with putting your ad on Craiglist, but often times sellers put up a crappy ad with just "garage sale" in the title (no date, no city etc). I plan on writing up a tips page on how to write a good Craiglist ad and put it up on my website.
I agree that knowing your local customs and trends is key to a successful sale. I've done a number of them over the years.
Depending on the area, don't necessarily ignore the local paper. Here in the Duluth, MN area I've found the local paper's rummage sale listings are still heavily used. The best attended sales are the ones that advertise there, and a lot of signage helps. For whatever reason Craigslist alone doesn't draw in as many people in our area, and except for cars, doesn't draw as many serious buyers for individual items one advertises either.
However, don't overspend on the ad in the paper. It really only needs to run the day before the sale (so people can plan ahead where they want to go) and the day of the sale. Three days or more becomes very expensive for little if any additional return on the investment.
Late spring and early summer tend to be the peak times of the year for sales. May and June have generally nice enough weather that's not too hot yet and people's weekends aren't packed full. July and August (at least in our area) have more reliable dry weather days but everyone's trying to get in other things on those weekends knowing that fall comes quickly. Sales aren't as well attended this time of the summer now.
Saturday's the best single day to have a sale, and Friday-Saturday the best two-day combo. Sundays don't bring out a lot of people, so have the day of rest it's intended for! Also, if you do a two-day sale, you have a different crowd each day. Fridays are more women and are the hard-core rummage sale shoppers so clothes, books, and household items go better. Saturdays are better for selling man's items (any kind of tools, man cave items, etc).
It didn't work out for us to have a sale this year, but hopefully next year Thanks to everyone for sharing your tips!

Renowned for his portraits of missing children, he has dedicated his life's journey to bringing the spiritual healing powers of art to sufferers in need of miracles all around the world.

For your information....
I realised that some people don't know enough about blood and bone marrowdonations, so I'm going to write everything I know to dispel any myths.
Firstly, blood donation. And I don't care if you're gay. Do you think you have some STI or STD just because you're gay? Do you think there's a massive difference between anal sex with a woman and anal sex with a man? People can lie. I would. They check all blood anyway, and if you're clean you shouldn't have a problem. You make a choice between helping someone and not helping someone. I'm sure they'd take your blood whether you're gay or straight…. Or does a gay man have some kind of toxic, disease infested blood? Is it green? Is it yellow? No, it's not, so stop being a massive a

Sheepherder's Bread
This old-fashioned sheepherder's bread recipe is light on ingredients, big on flavor, and oh so delicious.
Yield: Makes 1 loaf, about 3 3/4 pounds

Nutritional Information
Amount per serving
- Calories: 94
- Calories from fat: 18%
- Protein: 2.1g
- Fat: 1.9g
- Saturated fat: 1g
- Carbohydrate: 17g
- Fiber: 0.6g
- Sodium: 108mg
- Cholesterol: 4.1mg
- 1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter, margarine, or shortening
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- About 9 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Salad oil
- 1. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups very hot tap water with butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until butter melts; let cool until warm (110° to 115°). Stir in yeast; cover and set in a warm place until bubbly, about 15 minutes.
- 2. Add 5 cups of the flour. Beat with a heavy-duty mixer or spoon just until batter is stretchy, 2 to 5 minutes. Mix in enough of the remaining flour, about 3 1/2 cups, to form a stiff dough.
- 3. To knead with a dough hook, beat on medium speed until dough pulls from side of bowl and no longer feels sticky, about 5 minutes. If required, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- To knead by hand, scrape dough out onto a floured board and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes, adding flour as required to prevent sticking. Rinse bowl and rub with oil. Return dough to bowl and turn over to coat with oil.
- 4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
- 5. Meanwhile, if using a 5-quart cast-iron Dutch oven, cut a circle of foil to fit bottom of pan; put foil in pan. Rub the foil and sides of pan generously with salad oil. A nonstick pan that is not worn needs no preparation.
- 6. Knead dough with dough hook or on a floured board to expel air, then form into a smooth ball.
- 7. Place dough in baking pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled again, 45 minutes to 1 hour; watch closely so it doesn't rise too much.
- 8. Bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, 50 to 55 minutes.
- 9. Remove bread from oven and invert onto a rack (you'll need a helper); remove foil and turn loaf right side up. Cool at least 45 minutes. Serve warm or cool, cut into wedges.
- Nutritional analysis per ounce.
With this loaf, Anita Mitchell won the bread-baking contest at the National Basque Festival in Elko, Nevada, in 1975. She used a cast-iron Dutch oven, but a nonstick pan makes the bread easier to manage. Bake the loaf up to 1 day ahead and store, covered, at room temperature. Freeze to store longer.

more »
http://www.viewwave.com/ In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Blake Lively as Carol Ferris: The vice president of Ferris Aircraft and a long-time love interest of Hal Jordan.[12] Lively was chosen from a short list of potential candidates including Eva Green, Keri Russell, Diane Kruger and Jennifer Garner.[13] About her stunt work in which she rehearsed with stunt coordinator Gary Powell (Casino Royale, The Bourne Ultimatum, Quantum of Solace), gymnastic acrobats from Cirque du Soleil and used aerial stunt rigs created for The Matrix, Lively explained, "Our director likes it real—the fights close and dirty... I'm 40 feet in the air, spiraling around. That's the best workout you can ever do because it's all core... You do that for ten minutes and you should see your body the next day! It's so exhilarating, so thrilling—and nauseating". Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all. Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan: A test pilot for the United States Air Force who becomes a Green Lantern and the first earthman ever inducted into the Green Lantern Corps.[3] In an interview with MTV News Reynolds revealed; "I've known about 'Green Lantern' my whole life, but I've never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with Martin Campbell".[4] About the film Reynolds stated; "It is an origin story to a certain degree, but it's not a labored origin story, where the movie begins in the third act. The movie starts when it starts. We find out Hal is the guy fairly early on, and the adventure begins".[5] Alternatively Chris Pine[6] and Sam Worthington[7] had been in discussions for the role. Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake screen tested,[8] while Brian Austin Green, a Green Lantern fan, campaigned for the part, but ultimately did not audition.[9] Mark Strong as Thaal Sinestro: A Green Lantern and Hal Jordan's mentor.[10] In an interview with USA Today Strong affirmed that the film will follow the origin story, "the film closely follows the early comics. Sinestro starts out as Hal Jordan's mentor, slightly suspicious and not sure of him because obviously Hal is the first human being who's made into a Green Lantern. He's certainly very strict and certainly unsure of the wisdom of Hal becoming a Green Lantern". About the character Strong stated; "He is a military guy but isn't immediately bad. It's the kind of person he is that lends himself to becoming bad over the course of the comics being written, but initially he's quite a heroic figure." He also revealed that the outfit and other aspects of the character very closely follow the character's early days, "That widow's peak and thin mustache was for some reason originally based on David Niven, and Hal Jordan was based on Errol Flynn. In the '30s and '40s, they shared an apartment together in Hollywood when they were making movies and they were great friends. Obviously at the time, whoever was doing the original comics must have looked at them as guys doing very well in the film industry, and based those characters on them. So I would like to do justice to the Sinestro that was conceived for the comic books".[ His ship's crash-landing on Earth is witnessed by test pilot Hal Jordan (Reynolds), who rushes to the glowing wreckage to discover the mortally wounded Abin-Sur. The dying alien gives the confused Hal his ring and tells him to recite the oath before dying. Back in his apartment, Hal has the green lantern/power battery sitting on his coffee table where, amusingly, he tries reciting the oath ... but what's the oath? He was never told, so he starts a modified version of the Pledge of Allegiance (to the lantern rather than the flag) when suddenly the power battery bursts to life. Hal's eyes glow green as he begins to recite the Green Lantern's oath. ("In brightest day ..." you know the rest.) The battery and ring have formed some sort of psychic bond with Hal, imparting information to him.

Michael Phelps' love interest Sarah Herndon
Michael Phelps' latest love interest is 22-year-old Sarah Herndon, according to an interview with the waitress/model from California (the same description as his previous flame, Megan Rossee, with whom he broke up just after Christmas). He and Herndon met in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico before Christmas; fished for lobster in the Bahamas after the holidays and had an evening of sushi and "Zero Dark Thirty" back in Baltimore.

Herndon says Phelps was excited to catch lobster when they were in the Bahamas: "He ended up diving in with the driver of the boat and pulling up the lobster. It was really funny -- he was telling them, `You know, I live in the water, too!'"

NEW YORK, N.Y. (WTAQ) - The National Football League is still trying to appease the 400 fans who bought tickets to the Super Bowl and never got seats.
A good number of Wisconsin Packer fans were among those shut out of a section of temporary seats that were not completed in time. They either had to stand high above the field, or watch the game on TV in a stadium lounge.
At first, the league offered to pay 3 times the face value of the $800 ticket to those who didn't get alternative seats. Then on Monday, the league said the fans were allowed on the field for free food during the post-game celebration – and they were promised tickets to next year's Super Bowl.
Tuesday, the NFL said it would also give fans another option of going to any future Super Bowl, with a free flight and hotel – and they can wait each year until they find out if their favorite team will make the Big Game.
League spokesman Greg Aiello said it wanted to offer a broader range of options to recognize the deep emotional bonds the fans have for their teams. But if they choose that option, they won't get the $2,400 refund from Sunday.
The commissioner's office plans to contact all those affected, and they're still trying to find them all. Information on contacts can be e-mailed to the following address – email@example.com

What does SARGable mean? I see this posted in forums.
asked Oct 09, 2009 at 02:49 PM in Default
Steve Jones - Editor ♦♦
edited Dec 30, 2012 at 12:42 AM
I've read the article on Wikipedia before. I don't think it's entirely accurate. What does the use of a covering index have to do with SARGable?
Anyway, it's a measure of whether or not the query can use an index. Specifically, whether or not predicates in WHERE clauses and JOIN clauses will prevent the use of an index. There are operators that are SARGable and ones that are not. SARGable operations would include =,>,<, BETWEEN, and some LIKE conditions. Non-SARGable operations would include <>,!=,NOT IN, OR, other LIKE conditions.
The use of a function on a column can render the query Non-SARGable as well.
answered Oct 10, 2009 at 08:55 AM
Grant Fritchey ♦♦
Can I ask where the != operator not being SARGable comes from? If I have two queries reading a table by it's clustered index using = or !=, the plans show as equivalent for me...
Oct 10, 2009 at 11:00 AM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
I believe the issue of != comes from the optimizer not using an index when it was included. This was the behavior for years, so every query with a != caused a scan. Regardless of logic, if it doesn't get the optimizer to use an index, then it isn't SARG-able.

Aggressive Acquisitions Could Hamper Future Growth
Harriet is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Investors might purchase stock in a company that is "going green" not only because they want to support environmentally friendly practices but also because they view these practices as being an indication of all around sound management.
But does that mean they should be attracted to Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Waste Management (NYSE: WM) or Unilever (NYSE: UL) which have all been lauded for showing concerns about their environment? Not necessarily, because each of these three companies have displayed a pattern of aggressive acquisitions, transactions which might ultimately add to their bottom lines but seem to be embroiling them in debt at this point.
Aggressive acquisitions
During February Waste Management executives announced it was acquiring Greenstar, a fellow Houston-based business, and estimated that once this purchase was completed their company would have the capacity to handle approximately 15 million tons of recyclable materials annually. The initial price for this purchase was $129 million with an additional $40 million coming due if Greenstar, satisfies certain performance goals
Then, earlier this summer Waste Management acquired two Williston, North Dakota-based companies Summit Energy Services and Liquid Logistics. Waste Management will eventually be handling maintenance and tank cleaning, drill cuttings solidification and disposal related to drilling projects these firms undertake.
Waste Management's environmental protection efforts – employing single-stream recycling and utilizing technologies that turn waste into energy - have gained it recognition. But its debt/ equity ratio which stands at over 143 is troubling, well above the figure that might be considered optimum. At least some of that debt comes from the company's aggressive acquisitions.
And Waste Management's aggressiveness might not necessarily be benefiting this company's bottom line any time soon. Its PEG ratio (P/E ratio/ annual EPS growth) estimated over the next five years is posted at 6.36, an indication it might be overpriced for the foreseeable future.
Unliver owns diverse brands including Ben & Jerry's, Dove, Suave, Hellmann's, and tons of other household names. And behind the scenes it has been going green by establishing performance goals for reducing waste and greenhouse gasses while it simultaneously boosts nutrition.
But as is the case with Waste Managmenet, its debt/ equity might be too high for comfort: 119.45. Uniliver's indebtedness might be attributed to the large number of acquisitions it is undertaken, with these transactions being valued at $149.44 million during alone 2012.
And Unilever has not only been purchasing companies at a fast clip, it has also been building factories in developing companies. This company grabbed headlines earlier this year when it announced plans to invest $65 million investment in an Asian aerosol deodorant manufacturing facility. It previously made public its intentions to build facilities in Thailand at a cost of $92 million and in South Africa at a cost of $98 million.
And while that degree of aggressiveness on all levels might eventually produce great results at least one fundamental – Unilever's price/book ratio of 6.84 – indicates it might currently be overvalued.
By some accountings, Google deserves public recognition for being environmentally friendly. at least as of this point, however, it has garnered more attention for acquiring companies at the rate of one a week since 2010, with its most notable purchases being Motorola Mobile. But has this aggressiveness necessarily improved its future prospects or might it simply turn Google into an unmanageable sum of too many parts?
A 10-Q report scripted by Google itself during 2009 seems to strike a cautionary note for the future. It indicates that while the company had formerly made small acquisitions its ability to handle larger acquisitions might prove extremely challenge because of the difficulties involved in, among other things, merging the cultures of divergent firms. But Google's PEG ratio of 1.41, while hardly spectacular, is low enough to hint at continued growth.
A Foolish Conclusion
Investors might interpret the fact Waste Management, Unilever, Google are "going green" as being a reason to purchase them. But each of these three of these firms has been on its own version of a buying spree. Their acquisitions might result in great future profits, but then again they might not. In today's fast changing world, it might be virtually impossible to know what the public will be purchasing in the coming years. And that is the case whether you are talking about sandwich spreads (Unilever) or about high tech applications (Google).
Another consideration: When companies expand into developing countries, something Uniliver has been doing a great deal of lately, a myriad of challenges might await them. Investors, particularly those who make safety a major consideration, might not necessarily want to bring those types of complications into their portfolios.

5,000 - 10,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Peinthor Rene
BlueMouse is an Android app that lets your mobile phone act like
a Bluetooth GPS mouse. It creates a serial Bluetooth channel on port 1
and listens for incoming connections. If a client connects it will send out
NMEA GGA and RMC sentences.
The main motivation for this app was to create an app
that can provide GPS data to the foolography unleashed products.
More information can be found on the foolography homepage
-> http://www.foolography.com
* An android device with Bluetooth, GPS or network location positioning
* Android version 2.0 or above
Android version 1.* doesn't have a prober Bluetooth API.
There are currently 3 settings:
* Force serial port number
You need to set this to use the software with foolography unleashed.
If you don't force the serial port number a free port will be choosen
from android and advertised via the SDP protocol.
* Serial port number
Force the serial port number and use channel 1 for foolography.
* Update interval
Interval for sending NMEA sentences to the connected devices.
Minimum setting is 250ms, but actually there is not much sense in
setting it below 1000ms.
Supported devices for foolography unleashed
It depends more on the used Android ROM/firmware than on the actual device,
Currently known to work devices/software versions are:
* HTC G1/Dream - Cyanogenmod 6
* HTC One S - Stock ROM
* HTC Vision/Desire Z - Cyanogenmod 7
* Google Nexus S - Stock ROM
* LG Optimus P990/2x - Cyanogenmod 7
* Samsung Galaxy S3 - Stock ROM
Known not to work:
* HTC Desire - Stock ROM
* LG Optimus P990/2x - Stock ROM
Instuctions for foolography unleashed
Before you start make sure your device is discoverable, either by the
system setting, or make it discoverable with BlueMouse's menu option.
Start the BlueMouse app and try to pair you unleashed with the phone
with the paring code 0000. The first pairing will usually fail,
because the unleashed doesn't wait long enough for you to enter the code.
But the second time you shouldn't get asked for a paring code anymore
and the unleashed device should immediately connect.
For foolography devices the serial channel has to be forced to channel 1.
BlueMouse is license under the GPLv3 and the license
can be found in the LICENSE file delivered with this source code.
Some code comes from the android SDK example and WAS licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

(54 stars)
This is the third app I've tried on my HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE for use with my Foolography D200+ Unleashed on my Nikon D300. Wish I'd searched through the Foolography compatibility page a little more first. Really like my phone. Always have it with
(54 stars)
In the app menu there is a exit button.
(54 stars)
Tried to use it with an HTC EVO and an Unleashed DX000 on a D7000. The Unleashed unit appears to connect to BlueMouse (says it's connected on the BlueMouse screen, and the Unleashed only blinks green), but the D7000 never shows any GPS position
