Having a garage or yard sale prior to your move can not only earn you money, it will save on moving costs since you'll have fewer items to relocate. If you've never held your own garage sale before here are some tips to help ensure your success.
Weekends are the most popular time to hold a garage sale.
To catch all interested buyers, consider holding a two-day sale. Place a classified ad in local newspapers featuring your best or most unusual items. Don't forget to take advantage of any free advertising in community bulletin boards such as supermarkets, churches, schools or clubs. Put up signs in your neighbourhood the evening before your sale. Signs should be clear and bold with only the most essential information - date time and location.
