Making your garage sale a success
By Joanne j. falls
l4ome Economic Extension Agtnt
Garage sales can be profitable
for both the buyer and the seller.
They eliminate accumulated items
that are seldom or never used.
Garage or
yard sales
can stretch
the house
hold budget
by purchas
ing items in
good con
dition at a
fraction of
the original
price.
When Falls
purchasing
clothes at a garage sale, consider
the need or suitability of a garment
in relation to personal lifestyle and
wardrobe. Do not forget to inquire
about the cleaning requirements of
the items and how it should be
maintained. The amount of wear,
correct size, and difficulty of repair
or alteration are important factors to
consider. Individual needs and the
cost of the garment will determine
how important each of these vari
ables will be.
Planning a successful garage
sale should be approached as any
other business procedure. What to
sell and when to have tne sale are
the first decisions to make. Deter
mine the advertising methods avail
able, and whether a business license
or insurance is needed. Price items
reasonably and set up the sale in an
organized and attractive manner.
Just about anything can be sold
^atr^rgarage-sale. Items^ that are in
good condition will sell much better
and attract more customers. Low
quality or worn items may detract
from other merchandise and should
be kept at a minimum. Suggested
items to sell are: antiques, appli
ances, baby clothes, baby furniture,
bedding, bicycles, books, camping
equipment, clothing, collectables,
furniture, tableware, tools, toys and
games.
Good advertising can greatly
increase the success of a garage
sale. Take advantage of all the -
advertising methods in your com
munity. The cheapest and easiest
way to advertise is by word-of
mouth. Don't neglect community
bulletin boards often found in laun
dromats, grocery stores, and
schools. Bulletin board notices
should be clear, concise, and eye
catching.
Call the police department or
city office or inquire if there are
any regulations concerning the
licensing of garage sales. One time
sales usually do not require a
license, but weekly or on-going
sales may.
Homeowners' policies do not
automatically cover all loss or lia
bility claims from a garage sale.
One-time, one-family sales are usu- /
ally covered for liability, but neigh- (
borhood sales may not be. Any j
property loss at a garage sale often
cannot be claimed on a standard
policy.
Pricing of items can be some
what difficult because of the senti
mental value many garage sale
items possess. To avoid over-pric
ing, ask a friend to help give a more
objective viewpoint.
Select a date that will be most
convenient. Keep in mind when
buyers may have the most money to
first or the middle of the month.
These are some suggestions to con
sider:
? Allow sufficient timejto pre
pare for the sale.
? Choose dates popular for
sales in your community.
? Plan to hold the sale for one
or two days.
? Establish sale hours and^
maintain them. Be prepared for
shoppers seeking pre-sale purchas
ing privileges.
? Have $20-$30 in change and
small bills to start the sale.
? Institute a "no checks" policy
to prevent losses.
? Never leave the cash box
Items, such as the
? Set a rain date.
unattended.
Shoppers are attracted to large
sales, so combining items with a
friend's could be more profitable.
Divide the work. Share costs by
advertising as a double sale. Before
the sale, agree how the profits will
be divided. Some persons may pre
fer to have separate f plor-coded
inventories, whereas others may be
satisfied to divide the profits- in
half.
Another option is to ask neigh
bors to share your ad and each can
set up their own sale. This can be a
big selling point because buyers
like to attend several sales in the
same area.
To set up the display for
attracting customers to the sale, use
these tips:
? Use a large, well-lighted area.
? Rope off or move items in the
garage that should not be handled.
? Leave large aisles between
merchandise to help traffic flow.
? Have only one entrance and
exit to discourage shoplifting.
? Place check-out stand (table,
chair, money box, calculator) at exit
? Post "No Smoking" signs.
? Ask a friend or family mem
ber to help with the sale and assist
customers.
? Set up mirrors so customers
can try on hats and outer garments.
? Do not allow persons inside
house.
Display each item as if it were a
treasure. Sales appeal is very impor
tant with second-hand items. Think
of imaginative ways to feature inter
esting pieces.
? Place adult clothing on racks,
clothes line, or garage door tracks.
Hang according to size, season, or
occasion. All garments should be
clean. Mending rips and pressing
will promote sales.
? Display similar items togeth
er. f ^
? Display on large tables cov-.*
ered with clean sheets.
? Avoid using sale furniture to
display other items unless prepared
to move everything off when it
sells.
