Set a firm bottom price in your head before the sale starts. Be friendly but know your number. Bundle deals move slow items.

This is exactly the kind of straight talk I come here for. No fluff, just help.

I asked the same thing in another group and got way worse answers. You all rock.

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.
Avtoservis_hnei Dec 30, 2026 2:57 pm
Adding one tip: make sure you double-check everything before you start. Trust me.

My results were slightly different but in the same ballpark. Good advice overall.
Eve Packet   Advertising your garage sale Dec 28, 2026 8:57 pm
A classified ad, signs at the corner, and a post on the community board. Clear directions and start time bring the early birds.

My setup is slightly different but I adapted this advice and it worked great.

I made every mistake in this thread before finding it. Wish I had read it sooner.

Can you explain more about this? I am a newbie and want to understand better.
Eve Packet   Best display tips for flea markets Dec 28, 2026 4:57 pm
Tables, not tarps on the ground. Group like items. Good lighting under a canopy. A clean booth makes shoppers stop.

This is going straight into my notes. Already learned three new things today.
Avtoservis_inei Dec 30, 2026 5:57 pm
Showed this to my study group and we all learned something. Thanks for posting!

Tried three different approaches before this one worked. Persistence pays off.
Alice Hartwell Dec 30, 2026 8:57 pm
I second this recommendation. Have been using it for months.
Grace Tanaka   What sells and what doesnt Nov 18, 2026 8:57 am
Tools, kids items, and small furniture sell fast. Old clothes and outdated electronics rarely move. Donate the leftovers.

Anybody have a link with more details? Would love to read up on this.
Eve Packet Nov 22, 2026 3:57 pm
Anyone else having this issue? I thought it was just me.
Charlie Reeves   Pricing items to actually sell Oct 20, 2026 3:57 am
People come to garage sales for bargains. Price at 10-20% of retail. Things priced too high go right back in the garage.
Alice Hartwell Oct 23, 2026 11:57 pm
This is the kind of content that makes online communities worthwhile.
Grace Tanaka Oct 24, 2026 7:57 pm
This deserves way more replies. Bumping it so other members see it.
Grace Tanaka Oct 25, 2026 10:57 pm
I wish I had known this sooner. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.
