Garage Sale Tips
Before the Sale
- Sell anything you have not used for six months to a year.
- Invite a neighbor or friend to join your sale, the more stuff you have to sell the better!
- Price everything. Prices should generally be 10% - 50% off the original price of the item, depending on the condition and desirability.
- For pricing, use permanent markers and removable self-adhesive labels.
- Price items in increments of 25 cents for easy change-making.
- Anything damaged or not in working condition should be marked "as is"
- Wash all items. People will pay more for something that is clean.
- Display your treasures in similar categories, i.e. kitchen stuff, toys music and videos, etc.
- If you are selling electrical appliances, have an outlet or extension cord handy.
- Have lots of coins and small bills available to make change at least $50.00 worth. Also, consider wearing a fanny pack or carpenter's apron to keep money safe.
- Be prepared for buyers who want to bargain. If you think the item is worth more than what they are asking, then you can have them come back at the end of the day if it doesn't sell.
- Smile , Sell and HAVE FUN!
