Garage Sales : Where to Have a Garage Sale

Location, Location, Location.
There are many factors you’ll need to consider when choosing the location of your sale. For one thing, you’ll need plenty of space for your items. You’ll need room for lots of parking. Depending on the weather, you may need a place that provides shelter – check the forecast! If you live in a rural or hard-to-find area, consider having your sale at someone else’s house: 1011 Broadway is likely to be a lot easier to find than 1343 Rout 9S, Box 101. The same holds true if you live in a not-so-savory part of town. People tend to gravitate toward sales in the more “ritzy” neighborhoods because they automatically assume that wealthy people = good quality merchandise. So if your house is one step away from the projects, or an otherwise questionable neighborhood, seek out a better place to hold your sale.

If you don’t have any friends who are willing to donate their yard space for a day, you may be able to use (or rent for a nominal fee) the parking lot or a spare room in your church. Who knows, while asking around you might even spur a church-wide sale! Other reasons to change location include neighborhood regulations; some places have restrictions or require permits, so find out before you commit to holding the sale in a certain spot.
