How to have a successful Garage or Yard Sale

I love garage sales. I have one every year to get rid of my old stuff. Here are my best garage sale tips.

Step 1 - Organize. Find stuff that you want to sell. Box everything up and place it in the garage for pricing. Get your supplies together. You will need. Tape, price stickers, cash box, change, bags, newspaper, poster board for signs, black markers, clean cloths and mild cleaning solution.

Step 2 - Pricing. Remember, this is stuff that you want to get rid of. The worst mistake garage salers make is pricing items to high. If your stuff dosn'e sell you will have to either put it back or haul it away. It's better to sell it.

Step 3 - Advertise. Place an ad in the local paper. Even if it costs you a few dollars it is well worth it and will bring a lot more traffic to your sale. Better yet have a street sale and split the cost of the ad.

Step 4 - Get help. Enlist family members to help out the day of the sale. It's more fun to have a group of people to a sale then go it alone.

Step 5 - Haggle. Remember, you don't want to put this stuff away. If someone offers youless, take it!

Step 6 - Have Fun. Whatever profit you make is found money. You would have given this stuff away or trashed it so whatever profit you make should be fun money! Go out to dinner, take a short trip or buy a frivolous gift for yourself
