Boxes, laundry baskets, and plastic storage boxes make good bins for small stuff. Grab some paper or poster board and make signs for your tables or to hang overhead in the garage to help direct customers to kids' stuff, women's clothing, household items, and so on. You can also easily fold stiff paper to make stand-up signs to place around the sale tables. Use good lighting if you're conducting your sale in the garage. Have an extension cord plugged in and ready to go for any electrical items you're selling.
Customers can plug in the items to make sure they're working properly.
