 One of the things that is important on garage sale day is safety!   Below are some safety recommendations from 55 Division.

1.            Lock all doors as people get distracted easily.

2.            Purse and valuables should not be in plain view.

3.            Carry a fanny pack or something similar to carry your money.

4.            Do not accumulate large amounts of cash. Put excess cash in the house.

5.            Make sure you have enough people to assist you on the day of the sale.

6.            Greet people and make eye contact with them as they approach your sale. That                            makes them less likely to steal from you.

7.            Higher priced items should be closer to the house, not at the sidewalk.

8.            Don't accept large bills due to counterfeiting.

9.            Keep the buyer's bill out until you give them their change and then put the bill                              away. That way they can't say they gave you a 20 instead of a 10.

10.          Do not allow any strangers in the house for any reason.

11.          Put your garage sale package terms of sale notice up that says "cash only", "no                             returns" and "final sale"

    That is it for today Folks!!
