Whether you're moving, looking to reduce clutter, or simply want to make some extra cash, holding a yard sale (or garage sale) is a great idea. It's easy to pull off with some simple preparation. Follow the tips and tricks below for making your yard sale successful.
Choose an Early Morning Saturday or Sunday
It's important to choose a Saturday or Sunday to hold your yard sale. Even if you have it on a Friday, most people won't have the time to stop if they're on the way to work or to drop the kids off at school. Holding it on the weekend is the best time because passersby will be more likely to stop if their day is free. Also, check the community schedule before you decide on a date. This will reduce the chances of having your sale when there is another large event happening at the same time that could compete for your sale's attention.
Schedule the garage sale to begin in the morning, when most people have the time to come. The exact time in the morning is up to you, but consider beginning early, such as 8 a.m. While you may have to wake early to set everything up, people who frequent yard sales like to make http://seanddowling.tumblr.com/
