GARAGE SALE PREP | HOW TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL YARD SALE

It's time for some garage sale prep! I love having garage sales because it's a great way to declutter the house and make some money at the same time. We turned this garage sale into a 7 family sale by inviting friends and family to join us. Bailey and Quinn also did a lemonade stand and ended up making more money than any of the families did individually! Throughout the video I show you my process of preparing for a garage sale and give you tips along the way that I have found to be helpful in having a successful sale.

This video is 3 years old but very helpful for me and seeing your family at the end was priceless! My family received the Taco, Cat, Pizza game for Christmas this year, we loved it!

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.

I'm decluttering so I can sell my home and move to another state ... this is the Big Swedish Death Clean for me. .... Asking myself "Do I want to ship this?" helped me let go of a lot of things. I let myself 'stage the rooms' for the real estate pictures as I cleared things out - This helped me determine what furniture to hang on to for now and 'staging' more fun then 'decluttering' ..

We ended up making $217 from the sale, and the girls made $230 with their lemonade stand! It's all going toward their dance fees :) What are your best tips for a garage/yard sale?

Manuals sell by themselves, they have value. Plus, if you have the vacuum itself, then you should keep the manual.

Was enjoying your garage sale prep but didn’t push Subscribe until you mentioned AIP recipe. I’ll definitely be watching more now especially if you do any AIP meal preps?

[jordaelopez]

Good job! I like the barcode tags. Can you tell me what app/software you used? Thanks!

[curvesandcastles]

How many gallons does that beverage dispenser hold? And did you need to make multiple batches of lemonade?

Real tips started at 22 minutes. Imho it shouldn't take 22 minutes to get the idea of how to go through your stuff to prepare... Stickers that are hard to wash off our pet pee. For me. Painter's tape comes off easily & is cheaper. Being organized, using the ladder to hang clothes definitely makes sense & so does selling food.
