I would imagine that where you live, a garage sale is basically a non-starter. The ~2000 year-round residents, which is not a big customer base on which to draw, all probably feel that they have too much stuff to begin with. Plus, a garage sale in November? Uhm... no. Not gonna work. But you knew that going in. Your best bet, if you want to try the garage sale thing, is to hold it in mid-summer at the peak of the tourist season. Spend the dreary winter getting everything ready, and whenever the peak week of tourist season hits, that's when to open up, with lots of cheery signs directing visitors to the treasure trove.
Christmas charity toy drive sounds like a good idea, and it is a sweet thought, but can you imagine the disappointment of some little kid who is hoping for an X-Box or an Elsa from Frozen doll who ends up with... a Monster High doll? That is a fad that has passed! I wouldn't do that to a kid.
I keep saying I want to set up a camera test. Maybe I'll do that this evening.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
