Another tip is to set a bowl of free candy that many people enjoy so if they want candy they can come and maybe also take a look at your items for sale

[whosintheyardnow_]

My pet peeve is that if something isn't priced I bypass it. I want to know when I'm looking around what the price is. I don't want to have to ask.

[musicianonamission]

Wow, this got me excited about my upcoming yard sale!! I think balloons will also attract attention.

[joemusic]

In regards to the signs, don’t use the pre printed ones you suggest. They look too much like those For Rent signs and are often ignored. Spend a few dollars for bright fluorescent poster boards and black broad tip markers.

Yes a Lemonade Sale is good. I did it myself with my nabour and my brother and we made $78.50. With the choices of normal lemonage (NO SUGAR), Lemonade (SUGAR ADDED), Lemon Popsticuls (For the children), Fizzed Lemonade (ADDED SPARKILING WATER INSTED OF WATER). And then i priced the cups $1.5 (SMALL), $2 Large (I did $2 because there is no use buying a SMALLER one if you can buy a bigger one for 50c more). Then i did my deals like 3 smalls for $3.5 ($1 Cheaper), 3 Large for $4.5 ($1.5 Cheaper). It was an extra $1 for the fizzed lemonade because it is more expencive to make. Then i priced my popsicles at 50c (Small), $1 (Large). This encoriges to mother if she dosn't want her child to have sugar to have that insted. I'm very smart with these sorts of things. I hope you found this interesting.

I love the idea about the flags. As far as organization, I agree. If I go to a garage sale, I rarely sort through the bins, but I will look through the hangers.

[jjsstikbotvideos]

I know I'm late but..
another tip is to do a lemonade stand :)
also making dog treats because many people who come to yard sales have their dog with them, plus you could set out a water bowl to kinda lure customers walking their dogs to come and look at stuff... or set out something like a bowl of pretzels.
but i love this video it was very informative and your yard sale looks very neat and organized! nice stuff too especially the vases and the thing that says "keep calm and sparkle" I subbed :)!

[bhampatty]

The best video I have seen so far about preparing for a yard sale. I have never been to a garage sale as nice as yours.

[frechstudios]

The week before, everywhere we went, we told people there was a yard sale. We told all our friends at work. We put fliers on neighbors doors. We put pics on social media ahead of time.

[mayraflowers]

Some tips I have are having your garage sale the beginning of the month because people have the most money that time I also like to donate the left over stuff or give it away for free on facebook

[katiesoderling]

Very good tips! My grandparents had multiple garage sales every summer as their retirement income. They would buy things at auction and resell. This was before eBay. I grew up across the road and would spend many summer days hanging out, helping a bit, watching my grandparents chat with new and repeat customers. They were known in the area for their sales and well respected. I’m hoping to have my first sale this coming spring with the help of my 7 yr old son! He’s so excited! I’m going to try to add a bit of the flavor my grandparents did to their sale. Some of my fondest memories are their small old fridge filled with pop for 50 cents, a big coffee percolator and my grandma’s amazing baked cookies and bars for sale 😋 as well as the local AM station playing old classic country music. My grandma also would propagate house plants during the winter and pot them in old teapots and planters to sell. *Sigh* 😊

[stefaniegoodwin]

I would have broke the bank buying your home decor OMG! And then I would have had to turn around and put it at the garage sale I'm about to have with all of my own home decor that I'm trying to get rid of LOL. My first garage sale ever starts tomorrow thank you for the tips and pointers they are appreciated

[daniel-davis]

Thanks for the tips. I also recommend advertising the garage sale on Facebook since it’s free. Also if you have the ability to and have something like coffee, lemonade, something that is easy to mass make.

[forGreal]

You are so organized. Haven't seen a garage sale so beautiful as this before. I will try to see if I can pull this together. Thanks so much for sharing ❤❤❤

[jessphiliprodriquez]

Make sure your not selling alone. I used to do the swap meets, and stuff gets stolen if your distracted with large crowds.

ABP - Always Be Pricing. What do I mean by that? AS THE YEAR progresses and you find things you want to sell - have 4 boxes READY to go marked with the words "Garage Sale". When you come across an object you want to sell and PRICE it...and put it in the box. When the sale hits, your boxes are FILLED and READY to go. Prepping for a garage sale is a year-round event - not something you do the week before.
And yes - I also do "fleas" too...so I am ALWAYS ready to go and my boxes are always STOCKED and bursting with stuff I want to get rid of.
Another tip - Collectibles don't sell as much at Garage sales...but they do SELL at Flea markets. General yard sale stuff typically only sells at garage sales.

I do agree....I am up at 5:00Am and I pre-set 99% of the sale the NIGHT before. I am usually ready to take money by 7:30 or EARLIER. EArly-birds are chomping at the bit to spend their money....and I'm happy to TAKE IT.

Here's the most important tip - IF they are looking at something expensive - BE ready to take Paypal. At the fleas, my sales have doubled as of late simply DUE to the fact that I now take Venmo, Paypal, etc.

The pieces of colored glass/ house decor in the video had be stunned. They are so beautiful!

[sydpoindexter]

Thanks, this helped me organize my next yard sale.

[gerihenry]

GREAT Tips, thank you!! Planning a big one for the fourth of july and wanted to make sure we covered all our bases. Drinks, food, and arts and crafts is also in our plans. :)

[jennifersnouffer]

Getting ready to have a yard sale myself so think u very much for sharing
