- Typically, good sales items are things you don't use, such
as clothing, furniture, household goods and costume jewelry.
- Most garage sale buyers want something for nothing, so
expect to bargain down on your prices and smile when you offer a change in price. It makes
the sale more pleasant.
- If you have the time, mark the prices on everything so you
won't lose a buyer because he or she was in a hurry or to shy to ask. Let people browse an
don't be pushy. That will scare away potential buyers.
- It's to your advantage to be ready by 7:00 a.m. Remember,
"serious buyers are the early birds."
- After the sale, feel free to take your
"leftovers" directly to Goodwill (open until 5:00 p.m. at 5440 Del Amo, just
west of Bellflower Blvd.) or the Purple Hearts Veterans Store (open until 6:00 p.m., just
passed Downey Blvd. on South Street or Veteran's Rehabilitation Services (310) 531-2383.
- Most of all, HAVE A GREAT TIME!
