ORGANIZE A GARAGE SALE!

Let go of all of the “stuff” in your home, garage and basement that is not being used and get some $$$ for it!

TIPS FOR A GREAT GARAGE SALE:
* Best time of the year for a garage sale is SPRING or FALL.

* LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION – The higher traffic volume you have (busy intersection, main road to town, etc.), the more customers you will have.  If you live in the outskirts of town like I do, your traffic volume will be lower.

* Ask your friends and neighbors if they would be interested in having a combined garage sale.  The more “stuff”, the better.

*  www.garagesalesource.com under “Garage sale pricing” will help you price your possessions.

*Allow plenty of time to price your garage sale items ahead of time with tags or stickers.  Placing specific prices on your items brings in more $$$.

* Advertise in your local paper and/or with large, bright signs at the entrance of your subdivision and near main streets near your home.

* Display your garage sale items with “like” things together.  For example, dishware, girls clothing, electronics, etc.)

* Be willing to barter for most of your goods.  Hey, it’s a garage sale!

Items that DO sell: All baby stuff (strollers, pack-n-play, learning toys, children’s books, etc.); toys; tools; electronics; computer games; children’s clothing; comforter sets in good condition; cookbooks; dishware sets; jewelry

Items that DON’T sell well: Christmas items; men’s clothing; shoes

Open your door early for those “really serious” garage sale hunters!  You will sell most of your items before Noon.

The more work you put into your garage sale ahead of time, the more money you will make!
