Garage Sales : Make Money with Right Stuff
First things first: don’t have a sale if you don’t have much stuff.
People are disappointed when they arrive at a sale that sounds good in
the ad, only to be met by one or two measly tables of useless junk (if
they don’t just cruise on by without stopping at all). Your best bet
is to wait until you have gathered enough stuff for a sizeable spread.
If you don’t think you have enough on your own, enlist neighbors,
friends, or relatives to pitch in. They’ll be more than happy for the
chance to get rid of their unwanted items for extra money. Another
advantage to enlisting other people is that it helps to cut down on
your advertising costs and the amount of work you have to do. When you
have plenty of help, things are made much easier.
If you’re up to your ears in priceless antiques, a garage sale is
not the best place make money by selling them. Big items, such as that 1979 like-new
station wagon, are best sold other ways. But if you have old dishes,
toys, small appliances, clothes, games, sports equipment, and books,
you probably have the right stuff for a yard sale. If in doubt about the value of an
item, get an appraisal or
put it aside until you have time to check on it. With jewelry, use a
magnifying glass and look for a karat or sterling mark before you put
it in the sale box. Just remember lots garage sale customers are very
savvy and they are looking for items that the owners don't know value
of or are too busy to get them evaluated. If you have Items such as
glass work, old guns and swords etc. and are too busy, it maybe wise
to put them aside until next time. Markings on these items can give
you some clue about them as well.
