Even the most successful garage sales have items left over, and you should be prepared to deal with this. If you are ready to get rid of things, schedule a pick-up from your local charity for the first working day after your garage sale. Most charities will come right to your house and pick up items, and you can get a tax receipt for your donation. Schedule this in advance, though, so you can get your items picked up right away. Organizing The second key to a successful garage sale is organization.
Most people enjoy shopping in a well-organized sale, and hunting for a bargain.
First, sort your items into similar groups. If you have multiple families together, use different colored stickers to tag your clothes so that you can easily sort out who owns what at the cash register. Price each item in advance. This will help reduce the number of items thrown on the floor as people scramble to look at sizes. Price items to sell, but leave enough room to haggle.
