Tips for Holding a Garage Sale

 

Use a yard sale to reduce the clutter in your home and get rid of items you don’t want to move.

· Check with your municipality to see if you need a permit or license.

· See if neighbours want to participate and have a “block” sale to attract more visitors.

· Advertise.  Put an ad in free classified papers, put up signs and balloons at major intersections and in stores near your home.

· Price items ahead and attach prices with removable stickers.  Remember, yard sales are supposed to be bargains, so don’t try to sell anything of significant value this way.

· Check items before the sale to be sure you haven’t included something you want to keep.

· Keep pets away from the sale.

· Display everything neatly and individually so customers don’t have to dig through boxes.

· Have an electrical outlet so buyers can test appliances.

· Have plenty of bags and newspapers for wrapping fragile items.

· Get enough change and keep a close eye on your cash.
