This aspect of them drove me nuts. Some tips, though: I found that advertising in the newspaper was a waste of money--you will get much more activity from simple signs in your neighborhood or at the end of the road.

Put anything out that you can think of--you would be shocked at what people are willing to pay money for or have an interest in....seriously!!!
