Set a date. Do this well in advance. In the past my family has set ours around the town’s holiday weekend during the summer. With all of the yard sales nearby it isn’t a stretch for folks to stop by yours.
Decide what to sell. Purge Purge Purge! My thing is to get rid of everything we don’t need, or have too much of. With clothes, stick 1 size up and 1 size down from where you are now. Clothes that haven’t been worn in a year (or less depending on how much you own) can go. Items that don’t fit your style for whatever reason can go.
Get Help. Have friends and relatives bring items to help make it a bigger sale and a bigger draw for customers.
Collect sale items. Sort and box similar items. This will save time later when you are setting up.
Tell the world. It’s all about advertising. Put large, colorful signs on a major road. Keep them all the same color with clear directions, the address and the time. Also, take out ads in local papers. You can try listing your sale online, and posting it on any website you currently use for social networking.
Attach price tags. Clearly price everything. Put like things together. Use tables to make the viewing easier. Borrow clothing racks, and have a great layout of goods so people can see everything. This cuts down on questions, time and makes sure every item gets a good look. I know if there is no price on something I am not someone to ask or haggle so I would rather walk away.
The More the Merrier. Have your friends and family also help with setup, taking money, answering questions and general help on the day of the sale.
Be prepared. A great idea that I found is to have an extension cord so folks know your electronics work. Also use those extra plastic bags or boxes you have lying around to helps customers carry their goodies out. This will also help clear even more clutter!
Manage the money. Have a lot of small change handy not everyone has exact change.
Bargain. The idea of a yard sale is to get rid of everything. Bargain like crazy, the last day of our sales are usually a 50% off day. Less to haul back in the house!
Get rid of everything. Arrange for a charity to pick up whatever is not sold. Don’t take anything back into the house! (although I agree this is a great strategy, we have a spare room in our basement that we keep adding to during the year as out “yard sale” room. so if it doesn’t sell one year, it gets put out the next. As I get in the cleaning mood I add to the room and then price it all out the week before the sale.)

Another man’s trash…….
Clean out your closets and have a yard sale, take your goods to a consignment store or sell them online. If you can’t find a buyer for your unneeded goods, at least you can donate them to a local charity like the Salvation Army or Goodwill. Then you aren’t cluttering up you house with stuff you don’t use, you might be helping out someone else who needs what you are not using, and depending on your income, you may be able to take a tax deduction.
Go to other people’s garage sales, look for bargains and the resell items online at sites like ebay. It helps to specialize in one area so you get to know the market very well and get a good feel for what will sell online and for how much.
In the market for some new reading material? Check out library book sales, especially on the last day when they are trying to get rid of the books. Then you can resell the books online through Amazon Marketplace or Ebay. You can get an edge by becoming a library member, or better yet a volunteer, and possibly getting a chance to purchase books before they go on sale to the public.
If you are a college student you can always sell your books back. One of my first articles is all about selling books online!
