Hi there - You know, I have put together a few Garage Sales in my time and I figured that I could share my garage sale tips with everyone. These tips will hopefully help you to get the most out of your own garage sale. I thought that I would cover one tip per post, how does that sound?
Okay tip number one - If you don't have a lot of stuff to sell you could get your family, friends and neighbors to join in, you know, the more the merrier, hey. You could make a real day of it and make it a real jolly affair.
Getting together with others and combining your stuff will give your buyers more variety and will encourage them to stick around longer and in the process maybe spend more money.
Usually the main reason to organise a garage sale is to get rid of the clutter from around your house. So if you feel like you are drowning under a sea of clutter now might be a good time to think about having your own garage sale. Even if you have a lot of your own stuff it can still be fun to join forces with others to make it a bigger sale.
Don't have a garage - don't worry, you don't need one. Just have a yard sale instead. Same tips apply for both. Your garage sale buyers won't care, all they will care about is whether you have something they want at a bargain price. Remember, after all one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Okay, thats tip one. Next post will continue our garage sale tips and have tip two - all about planning your garage sale.
