Garage Sale

Tips for a Successful Garage Sale,
Lets get you moved out!
​
1. Shoppers more often stop for full tables and large items. Bookcases, dressers, toys, and tools attract traffic.
2. Dealers and collectors visit sales, so clearly display one-of-a-kind items.
3. Make sure appliances work, and clean everything.
4. 10-30% of retail is a fair price for most items. Tag all items, but be prepared to haggle.
5. Items sorted by size and type and organized on shelves or rack fetch higher prices.
6. Partner with neighbors and split the cost.
7. Check the weather.
8. Make neatly lettered signs to direct traffic to your house.
9. Leftovers: give them away, keep them for another sale, or call a charitable organization for pickup. Keep a list of donated items for your accountant at tax time.
