How to have a winning Garage/Yard Sale
I could offer lists of ways to have a successful moving sale. And I will… at some point. For now I just wanted to mention the 2 most important ways to guarantee the greatest showing of people, and receive the best prices.
These suggestions are married in that it is almost impossible to have one without the other. If you cave on one feature, the next will most certainly be compromised.
One of the parts of my business that has turned out to be most successful are our moving / estate sales. When individuals leave the city/country, we are responsible for selling all of their items, and we are hired not just because we are able to do so, but we do so very well. It is a fact that our %age’s earned are LESS than what the sellers would LOSE had they chosen to do the sales on their own. This is not a pitch to use our services. I can guarantee you - I dont live in a town near you.
When we host these events, we usually set one date for 3 hours. All the time, I hear - are you sure that is enough???Just 3 hours?? Only 1 night?? These are often households of thousands of dollars of items. Can it really be possible to unload all this in such a short amount of time?
I will get to these answers later, but when I unequivocally say that if I am involved, this is the way it will be, I calm then down, telling the sellers about our unique approach … Like I am about to tell you… soon
Nothing like a little suspense…
