What are the Best Tips for Organizing a Rummage Sale?
When you’re trying to decide which items to sell, make sure they’re still safe to use and are not recalled. I had a ton of those Pokemon balls that were given out at Burger King years ago, and was planning to donate them. Luckily I found out before I did that they were recalled! You can find current safety guidelines on the CPSC website. And, Simply Check will help you check for recalls.
One of the key elements in the success of any rummage sale is choosing the right date for the event. In many places, this means a Saturday morning. However, it is important to consider local factors that may impact the ability of people to spend money at your yard sale. For example, if you know that many people in your community are paid at the first of the month, schedule your garage sale for the first Saturday of the month rather than at a later date. Holding the event just after people have been paid and have some extra cash in their pockets will greatly enhance the chances of selling more of your items.
