They are also an excellent way of making extra cash, meeting new faces and just having fun. The success of a yard sale is largely dependent upon the type and amount of planning and organizing. The more people who know of your sale, the more you can expect to sell. Many forms of advertising may be utilized to promote a yard sale. Other forms include radio stations, posters and area bulletin boards.
Word of mouth is a very effective means of advertising.
Consignment shops also are a reliable source for selling second-hand clothing. Once consignment shops accept the clothes, they sell them and keep a percentage of the profit while passing an agreed-upon percentage back to you. Remember, most consignment shops require you to have the garment cleaned before they will accept it. Consignment shops often take seasonal clothes and garments which they believe will sell. The larger consignment shops will accept clothes out of season simply if they have adequate storage space for this inventory.
