Planning for a Yard or Garage Sale - Continued

Setting the prices – you have to think about what you are going to charge for things. Just because you spent $50 on that blanket five years ago, you are not going to be able to get that now, but you most likely could get an easy $5! You can sell just about anything in the house that is mobile and that include appliances as well.

Who buys all this stuff? Everyone is on a budget anymore and everyone is going to buy something. People that come to your sale could be just starting out with their first apartment, helping their children get a place set up, they could be expanding in their family or they may just want some new goodies for their collection or their home.

If someone wants to talk you down in prices, let them talk you down a little. You don’t want to have to cart all that stuff back in the house, and making a few dollars is better than having all this ‘stuff’ put back in your house to clutter it up. Of course, you can’t take just a dollar for a television but you can let yourself be talked down a dollar to fifteen dollars if you want to increase the money you have at the end of the day.

Remember to have fun while out selling all your house wares – just think about the money you are making and what else you can buy!
