Spring is Here ..Time for Garage Sales..
With nice weather here in Ct , I have been stopping by many Garage Sales ( Tag Sales here in CT).You would be surprised on what you can find . Here are a few Tips on having your own Garage Sale:
You may be surprised that what you have no use for and in fact think is junk, someone else is thrilled with. The following list will give you some ideas of what you
can sell:
appliances - large and small
books - paperback and hard cover
costume jewelery
sports equipment
plants
linens / bedding
children's toys
flatware - silver and stainless steel
baby equipment
records / tapes
shoes / boots
patio equipment
garden tools
kitchen utensils / gadgets
china / bric-a-brac
clothing, especially children's
pictures / frames
Now that you've decided when your sale will be held and just what you're going to sell, the following tips will help make your day a success:
Put a price tag on every item. Mark your prices clearly. This makes it easier for a customer to browse. Masking tape is excellent for price tags.
Make sure your merchandise is very clean. Goods that are polished and in good condition will sell faster than old dusty items.
Be ready to deal with customers promptly at opening time.
Be prepared to give your customers change by having coins and small bills on hand.
Save your bags for a few weeks before your sale, so you can offer your customers some wrapping for their purchases.
Be prepared to haggle with customers.
After your sale, if you should have any leftovers, donate them to a local charity. Or you can always save the leftovers for your next sale
