Yard Sale selling strategies
Several neighbors hosted yard sales in Charlotte Park this past weekend, and the weather was perfect for them.The best part about a sale is the opportunity to meet neighbors. Quote of the weekend: "If you need anything, anything at all, call someone else." I've got to remember that one.In the spirit of the (garage sale) season, here are some tips I've picked up, along with links to sites with additional ideas:- Early in the week before your sale, call an organization like the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center to arrange for a truck to pick up large items you don't sell but want to donate. It's important to call early to get on their schedule for early in the week after your sale. When you call, you can find out which items they accept and which ones they won't. Also, they'll leave behind a receipt if you request one.- The Three Ws: Wait until Wednesday and check the weather. You'll have a chance to cancel your plans if the forecast calls for rain, and if there isn't much of a threat of rain, you should still have plenty of time to buy an ad in the Tennessean's classifieds. Don't forget to advertise with digital pics of your stuff (for free) on craigslist.- A few yard sale sites to check out: How to Have a Yard Sale, Yard Sale Queen and Garage Sale Tips.- Do you have any tips or suggestions? Post them as comments here to share them with your neighbors.
