Also, it helps to have the garage sale in the right neighborhood. My mom, my aunt and I are having one at my aunts house because they have garage sale regulars and people that will buy anything. My parent's neighbors had one last weekend and they sold NOTHING. My neighborhood is too new and far away from anything to even try. We had a "community" garage sale once with like 15 people in our neighborhood and I got THREE people in 4 hours.
My aunt doesn't even advertise, she just puts the sign out at the end of the block and ends up selling everything. So maybe combining with a friend or relative would help? |
