Tips
for Holding a Yard Sale
Use
a yard sale to reduce the clutter in your home and get rid
of items you don't want to move.
| 1. |
Check
with your city government to see if you need a permit
or license. |
| 2. |
See
if neighbors want to participate and have a "block"
sale to attract more visitors. |
| 3. |
Advertise.
Put an ad in free classified papers, put up signs and
balloons at major intersections and in stores near your
home. |
| 4. |
Price
items ahead and attach prices with removable stickers.
Remember, yard sales are supposed to be bargains, so don't
try to sell anything of significant value this way. |
| 5. |
Check
items before the sale to be sure you haven't including
something you want by mistake. |
| 6. |
Keep
pets away from the sale. |
| 7. |
Display
everything neatly and individually so customers don't
have to dig through boxes. |
| 8. |
Have
an electrical outlet so buyers can test appliances. |
| 9. |
Have
plenty of bags and newspaper for wrapping fragile items. |
| 10. |
Get
enough change, and keep a close eye on your cash. |
