He explained that yard sale is hard work and require a simple but essential preparations. Here’s some of the great tips excerpted from Jeremy’s knol:
- Advertise your yard sale online for free, on local newspaper, or on your local community bulletin boards.
- Find out from and comply with your local laws and regulations about opening a yard sale.
- Set a definite start and end time of your yard sale.
- Consider placing price tags on top of all items.
- Have some background music on.
- On a hot day, consider kids or relatives running a lemonade stall.
- Go through your on sale items to check whether they are dirty or have ‘secret items’ in them, such as money, receipts, etc.
- Accept cash only transaction.
- Have plastic grocery bags ready.
- Put ‘all sales are final’ sign to avoid returns and refunds.
There are tens other tips on the knol. Please make sure you read the knol to give you a clean start and more hassle-free yard sale to do.
