SEVEN STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL GARAGE SALE.

HERE ARE SEVEN STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL GARAGE SALE OR TAG SALE:

  1. check with your local government ot see whether you need a permit
  2. assemble items to be sold. if you don't have enough, ask friends and neighbors to participate
  3. run an ad giving time, place, date and rain date. Post notices at supermakets, bus stops, and on any trees and poles if permitted by authorities.
  4. price ggods with tags or tape (use different colors for different owners.) when in doubt price lower.
  5. Group similar items together; put clothes on racks, books in boxes, miscelaneous items on card tables.
  6. Be prepared to bargain; after all, you're trying to get rid of everything. Reduce prices during the last 2 hours of the sale.
  7. Give any leftovers from the sale to your favorite charity. Take down all posters.
  8. Clean up your mess when done.

Have a great Garage sale. Make some money and get rid of the clutter.
