Default Re: Holding a Profitable Garage Sale

Mark everything - especially if someone else is going to help you. Even if it is just you go ahead and mark it all w/prices. Nothing more annoying that waiting while SuzyGrabsItAll checks out to find out the prices!

Lots of change on hand.

Keep a sharp eye on the CASH at all times.

Preferable to have a helper so you can run to the bathroom, get a drink, answer the phone, whatever.

Put up a BIG 'Will Consider All Offers' sign.


Pack yourself a sack lunch the night before so you can grab it out of the frig when the hunger bug hits but the crowd is hopping!


*MOST IMPORTANTLY - PUT SOMETHING IN THE CROCKPOT FOR SUPPER - you will be tired and won't feel like cooking. If you have to hit the drive-thru then there go some of the profits.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!!
