Garage Sales - Tips from Anyone Who's Had One?

[Psyber]

Don't have one!!!

Agreed! I did it once, it wasn't worth the hassle with all those chisellers. I took to saying, "Bugger off, I'd rather dump it!" to those who tried to beat me down.

If you're selling records, books or cds have them in a place where the 'nerds' who like them can actually sort through them but not hold up your other customers. It takes time to find that perfect Black Sabbath 45 or that rare biography Brightly Fades The Don and nothing will stop the 'nerds' from searching right through your collection.

I know, for I am Nerd.

Didn't know that Central fans were nerds?

There's a nerd in all of us.

thanks for the various thoughts people. I'm now starting to think the types who may come down my street will be a mix of visgoths, rampaging Vikings and a few of the lost mongols from Attila the Hun's hordes.

visigoths even?

or perhaps you meant these...

Boy George's 2008 comeback was shortlived.

where's a PEST CONTROL when you need one

Actually, with those colours, looks like StKilda's found a whole new fan base.

You need a lot of leisure time to maintain that sort of appearance, and it has to really matter to you to put in the effort.

Just putting street name but not number doesn't work. We had a garage sale a year ago and just advertised street name and 8:00am start time. Somehow (no idea but assume these people have some sort of supernatural powers) we had people rocking up at 5:30am. Made a lot of money though. People will pay for all sorts of crap especially if they think they're getting a bargain.

pack up your stuff and take to trash and treasure at the Gepps X Drive in on a Sunday Morning. For a modest fee (I think $20) one can set up a tressle and sit back and watch the literally thousands of peoples shuffle past for a look. Whatever doesn't sell drop of at Vinnies/Salvos on the way home.

People who choose to look like the above,yet appear uncomfortable when you look at them.

Oh sorry,should be in what gives you the 5hits thread.
