When (or if) you go to garage sales…?
Do you look for anything inparticulair?? I’m planing on having one Next Saterday (4/5 & 4/6) and i’d really like to know if i should bother. I live in Florida, and i am planning to sell mostly wooden furniture. (some are;or at least look like, antique furniture.) I also some some other things though, but like i said, mostly wooden furniture. Should i bother??
And if so, any good ideas where i shoud put signs, and should i advertise on Craigslist?
and and all suggestin are greatly appreciated.
~thank you so much~

People look for all sorts of things. I look for clothes and books and whatever suits me at the time. Some people just look for furniture, some look for collectibles or old record albums and such. Put out a variety of items. The wood items you have will probably sell good. But, add to it if you can with odds and ends and books and stuff. You might want to throw in a free box with mismatched stuff. People love that and will feel more tempted to buy things. You could go in with friends to make it a bigger sale. The bigger the better! Put stuff out in a way that’s easy for people to look at and walk around. Put things together that go together, like a table with Christmas decorations, or all knick knacks and candles and stuff. Presentation is everything!
Here’s a few tips I found helpful: When you see cars coming, get one of your friends to stand up and look at the stuff like they are a customer. When people see other people looking they tend to stop more.
Another tip: write a price on something, cross it out and put a lower price. It looks like you have reduced items.
Good Luck and have fun!
