7 Garage Sale Tips from Tradepal
When preparing for a garage sale, place the emphasis on streamlining and organizing the process. Here are 7 things to consider:
1. Sort items
- Classic decluttering taking mainly into account the utility value
- Organize the garage sale by category
2. Displaying Merchandise
- Fun labeling of items
- Give a small write-up on the history of the item
3. Determining the Price
- Show both the Original Price and — the Asking Price
- Mention if you would consider a trade or if the price is Negotiable
4. Advertising (the hard part is driving the traffic)
- Keep it short - showing address and date for the grand event
- Street signage, Community signage or local paper
- Let your friends know - via phone/Facebook/Twitter/ other social networks
5. Time management before, during and after the sale
Simply put, it takes a lot of work whenever you get involved in a garage sale. You need to separate each main task and allocate specific times in different days to avoid getting frazzled.
6. What to do with items that didn’t sell?
- Just do a giveaway or donate to a local charity
- Keep them for the next garage sale
7. Build your year-long Garage Sale on Tradepal
- No need to spend the day selling or post signs - do it all online
- List an item, add an image
- Set a Price or mark as a Giveaway
- Share with friends and friends of friends
