Garage Sale the "Quick and Easy" Way!

Don't price your items? What the heck...??? You've probably always heard that successful garage sales involve putting stickers on everything. We disagree. My sister puts out tables and throws stuff on in the morning and waits for the bargain hunters to go crazy! She has a dollar table... everything on it is a dollar -- why waste time pricing things at a dollar? Just throw them on the table... how about a quarter table? That's a great one! People start filling their basket with a bunch of items, soon they've got $3.00 worth of stuff that they normally would have haggled over!

You've got to draw the crowds into the sale. When they see other people at your sale, they will flock just to get your bargains! It's amazing what a mirror up by the road, or a tall ladder will do... that bike won't be around long once the bargain hunters get a glimpse from the road. It's exciting, it's fun, it's the thrill of the hunt (for bargains)!

You just spent a bunch of time cleaning closets... don't bring the stuff back in the house! Obviously you don't want the items. Our recommendation is to give them to charity. They're outside, just pack in boxes, and put by the road. Schedule the pick up with the charity and away they go. If you can't wait for a pick up, then put in the car and make the trip to the drop off point! But again, if you spent the time to put out for sale, don't bring it back in the house, give to a good cause.

The ladder is a great example, last year it didn't sell... and spent 12 months in the garage taking up space just waiting for this year's sale! It's your choice!
