Hold a Money-Making Garage Sale
- Select a sale date at least two to three weeks from when you need to prepare.
- Weekends are best, but avoid dates that conflict with holidays or special events.
- Consider holding a joint sale with friends, neighbors or relatives to attract more customers and sell more items.
- Scan your attic, garage, basement, closets, and other storage areas for items.
- Practical items such as appliances, furniture, dishes, books, plants, kitchen utensils, antiques, toys, and clothes sell best.
- Don't sell things that are broken, cracked, badly stained, etc. That makes buyers wonder whether your other items are also of similar quality.
