Gavin Nichols, 10, of Carbondale, helps move yard sale items inside Tuesday evening on West Pecan Street. Ian Nichols, Gavin’s father, said after having a slow sale day on Sunday, his family decided to try the yard sale on weeknights this week in an effort to sell some of their unique items such as an antique piano and hula hoops. “The University Avenue intersection is much busier around the time people are getting off work,” Nichols said. “We found that we see a lot more people on weeknights.”
