Through trial and error I found out how to prepare a winning newspaper advertisement that would draw three times the people that would come on just a normal three line ad. Another important tip is that the way you create your garage sale signs will attract a much larger percentage of people. Locate your signs so that people will have no trouble finding your sale. About five years ago I had one lady come to my garage sale and tell me she wanted to have a garage sale so badly, but she was scared and didn't even know where to start. You get to meet all sorts of different people that you probably never would have met before.
Pricing is a touchy area.
Everyone has his or her own ideas about this. Garage sales can be a fantastic supplemental income for you. I love to have garage sales, and I enjoy going to other garage sales to get new ideas. I want to keep in touch with how other people are doing theirs so that I can continually improve on mine.
