Over the years, we’ve seen some very successful garage sales during the Golden Triangle event. A few simple tips can make a big difference in how your sale goes.
PRICING TIPS:
Start by asking yourself what you would realistically pay for the item. If multiple buyers hesitate or try to negotiate, it may be priced too high. If items aren’t moving, be prepared to adjust prices by late morning.
DISPLAY TIPS:
Clean your items and set up tables so folks can see your goods easily. Keep like with like: books, magazines in one zone, electronics another, kitchen stuff together, etc. And get a good night's sleep!
OTHER TIPS:
Have $80-100 in small bills, loonies & twonies for your float at the start of the day. Instead of an easy-to-grab cash box, keep THE cash on yourself by wearing a carpenter's pouch, fanny pack or an apron with pockets.
If you are selling higher-end items, keep them in one zone with a dedicated, trusted helper in charge of that area, full-time.
For fragile items, have old newspapers and shopping bags handy for your shoppers.
💡 PRO TIP - Serious buyers show up right at 8AM — be ready!
