Tip:
Get the Most Out of Your Garage Sale.
A really
productive garage sale takes a bit more than putting up a sign in
the yard and an ad in the paper. Plan ahead and get your
neighbours involved too. Here are few great tips that will help you get the most out of your efforts:
- Go
through your whole house. Sorting out the items you no
longer need or you've grown out of.. Be ruthless,
chances are if you haven't used it in a year or so, you
probably won't in the future.
- Place an ad in your local
paper ahead of time. The best issue is the last one
before your sale. Stick notices up on store bulletin
boards and street posts (where permitted). Ask friends to come
and help out on your sale day.
- Price
your items sensibly after all, your objective is to sell
them.
Polish, clean, and repair everything for sale. Clearly
mark
the price for each item on a piece of masking tape or a
tag.
- Place your
items on tables spaced for easy passage around all your
items. Place you best items up front and clearly visible
to buyers. Hang clothes on hangers and consider making a
dressing room area available for trying things on.
- The
day of, set up a refreshment stand.
Clear the curbside and driveway if possible for parking.
- Have
cash on hand to make change. If you must, accept cheques only
from
local banks and get two pieces of ID.
