Do you have any tips on having a successful garage sale? I am having one tomarro and I have already set up and put price stickers on everything, I was just wondering what tips everyone had? Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Proper Display makes a WORLD of differance!  When u set your things out... see to it that it appeals to the eye somewhat..... for instance, if it needs dusted or wiped down, ect.  do so.....I have had many garage sales myself, and like the other person that answered said... see to it all your items have been priced.  

I will never understand how people can just throw a few piles of things out in a yard dirty, not priced, no sense of orginazation whatsoever, and still wonder why it is no one is buying anything..........

clean it up, price it all, price it reasonably..... you will do just fine!

Good Luck! Have fun! It can be WORK!

Answer 2

Put price stickers on everything - but be prepared to lower your price.

If you're happy to get rid of an item, do so at any price.  If it ends up at a second hand shop , you'll get nothing anyway. I put $2 on paperbacks, and was left with most of them - I should have taken the 50c offer!  It is amazing what people will buy - if it's cheap enough.  People will arrive early - before the stated time. If you're ready, you may as well let them in - you do want to get rid of whatever you can.

Happy selling!
