Garage Sale

Things that pile up over the years in your cupboard, kitchen and Garage need to be disposed at some point of time and Garage sale is a great way to do that in exchange of some small but significant income.

But before you go for it, sort out items which you may rather sell/auction at ebay.com or amazon.com . Those provide a national exposure to your items like textbooks or DVDs and you may hope to get better prices. If you just depend on your neighborhood or pedestrians walking by, you may not even be able to sell it or may sell it at a much less price for the urge of disposing what you think is junk.

You may also take the service of some other Auction places as we described in one of our past postings. You may use those for large items in particular, which you may not like to ship.

You may now list rest of the items for your garage sale. Take permission from your city office (if your city requires it), put free advertisements at following websites well in advance (about 3 weeks so that ads appear just before the target weekend), put signs at road-crossings around your home and then open up your Garage door and enjoy talking to people who appear from nowhere and buy things that you wish to get rid of.

The following sites offer free listings :
GarageSaleHunter, GarageSaleZone, Craigslist, PennySaverUsa .
GarageSale-Guru is also a good site that offers information for buyers and sellers.
