You can always have a FREEBIE table. One small area set aside for whatever
you would toss. I think it would make good will, and as word got around,
people who come to maybe get a freebie and you can sell them a pot, some
orchid mix and fertalizer... etc. and make a few bucks. :^)

Someone here (Al?) has mentioned the pitfalls of sales.
If you do a sale once, entirely too many people will never buy again
until the next sale.
I suspect a freebie table would work the same.

Freebie tables have the problem of "returns" -- Someone gets it from a
freebie table but also buys other plants. How do they/you know which
are which in 6 months? Do they remember when speaking to others that
this is from a freebie table and that was a good plant? Easier to
sell good and bury the rest.
