Garage Sale 101
Howdy all, I debated putting this up in the advice forum, but decided this was more for the general chat category. Sorry this is such a stupid thread!
On Saturday, I'm planning on hosting my first ever garage sale. Seeing as how I've never done it and really have never gone to any sales myself, I am a garage sale virgin! I'm asking for any advice you can offer and suggestions for a successful sale.
Since my city has areas of people who are both very well-off financially and not so well-off, what do you typically charge for clothing items? We have some nice stuff (some never worn/gifts/quickly grown out of) and want to get the most possible. T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, Sweaters, Jeans, etc.
Also, what is a good amount of change to have on hand? Do most people want receipts?
Know of any items in high demand right now I should be digging around the house for?
Thanks so much!
BCG
