What are some good tips for a garage sale on a regular Saturday?
I'm having a garage sale and I need some money, which means this garage sale needs to be successful. Got any good tips?
Put up signs around your town about your garage sale. Post an ad on craiglist several days before, and list location, time, and mention some of the items being sold in your garage sale. In my area, most people have garage sales around 8am-3pm. The week-ends are the days to have garage sales. In my area, saturdays are the best days for garage sales. It all depends on your area.
Price your items, and make the price stickers clear and readable. Of course you need to make extra cash, but garage sales must have low prices.
My dad, my aunt, and I had a garage sale a few years ago and we are going to have another in 2 weeks. At our last garage sale, this is a list of what we were selling and our prices.
cookie tins. 75 cents-$1.25
used hats and gloves. 25 cents
used clothes (except jackets) $2.-5.
nick nacks 25 cents-$8.00
small animal cages $4.00-5.00
jackets (men's and woman's). $2.00-5.00.
toys. 25 cents
books 25 cents- &2.00
movies $1.00-2.00
Children's books usually sell for low prices at garage sales. People like to bargain, espechially when your selling nicknacks. At our last garage sale we were selling this one nicknack for $4.00. A lady came and wanted to buy that particular nicknack, but she refused to pay the full price we wanted for it. So we bargained it with her, and that was one less thing we didn't need anymore.
I live in New Jersey (in the U.S.), and movies, children books, and cofee mugs sell good at our garage sales. Clothes and nicknacks don't sell much.
Have change on you. Price everything like at 25, 50,75 cents, $1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.25, and so on. Don't price things at 12, 13, 14 cents, cause then you'll have to have pennies, nickles, and dimes as change. Have plenty of 1's, 5's, 10's dollar bills with you, and have some 20's with you. At our last garage sale, one lady spent 2 dollars, and she only had a 50 dollar bill with her. Goodluck
