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!!
