Yard Sale Tips Below are some tips for making the most money with the least amount of hassle and headaches on your next yard sale. Allow Yourself Plenty of Time to Organize The goal of your sale is to sell items you don't need or want so you can earn money and move less. Many of these items are residing in the garage and basement. Don't miss this great opportunity by not giving yourself ample time to prepare and organize. Select a Good Garage Sale Date - Saturdays are a good day for a garage sale because bargain hunters are more likely to be available on a Saturday. Make sure you do not schedule your garage sale on a holiday or during an event like a Carolina Hurricanes game. Involve Others - When it comes to garage sales bigger is truly better so invite your neighbors, church members, a brownie troop, or the local boy scouts troop to join your sale. The more goods for sale, the better your sale will look, inviting more potential bargain hunters. Include the Kids - Ask them to help out by having them clean out their rooms and allow them to earn money from the sale by encouraging them to sell beverages and snacks. Sell toys, appliances, furniture, and tools - Practical household goods have a much better chance of selling than adult clothes. Advertise It Well - Do not forget to promote your sale by posting signs in your neighborhood and on major intersections near your home. And take out an advertisement in at least one local paper. Make sure you tell your other neighbors, co-workers, and friends. Make it Easy to Find Your Sale - On all of your advertising, do not forget to tell people where your home is located in the Triangle area. Attempt to make directions to your home easy for people to understand and post easy to follow signs starting with the entrance of your subdivision. Have Lots Of Change On Hand - Singles, fives, tens, and coins are best. Be prepared to break lots of $20 dollar bills. Donate the Remainder of Your Goods to Charity - Instead of putting all of the clutter back into your home, donate the remaining items to charity for a tax deduction. Some charities will even come to your home and pick your goods up at no charge to you. Return to Home Page
