How to organize a garage sale

by Ron Mayer
 Today a lot of people have garage sales when they want to clean out their basement or their garages. A lot of times people will sell , old toys and all sorts of other junk. Sometimes you can find some good items at a garage sale if you have patience to look through all of the items. Most garage sales take place on the weekends and are usually advertised in the newspaper, on bulletin boards or by signs put out on the street.

If you want to have a garage sale it takes a lot of work and preparation prior to having your sale. The first thing you need to do is figure out a date when you want to have your garage sale, then you need to organize what you are going to sell. One thing you need to do is check with the town where you live to see if you need a permit. If you need a permit, make sure you get one first. Then you should find out what other rules and regulations may have to be followed as well.

Do not start too early in the morning, as you do not want to disturb your neighbors. Remember, there are some people who are professionals at going to garage sales, and they may arrive before you even start. You should label everything with a price tag, as it will make your life much easier. Be prepared, as people may try to lower your price on certain items.
