Blairsville Online Yard Sale (2024)

FAQs

Where is the best place to post a yard sale online? ›

Sites like YardSaleSearch.com, Gsalr.com and GarageSaleFinder.com—and their mobile apps—enable garage sale enthusiasts to browse sale listings and even map out a route of their favorites. You may also want to do a quick Facebook search to see if you have any active garage sale groups in your area.

Although not everyone puts price tags on their garage sale merchandise, pricing your merchandise in advance will make the day of the sale less hectic for you. Additionally, it may make customers more likely to buy.

For the best attendance, choose a Saturday or Sunday morning between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m., when temperatures are cooler. If you can have a two-day sale, that's an even better way to maximize your profits. Make sure to check the weather forecast, too, before you set your date in stone.

Post your garage sale flyers around the neighborhood a few days before the yard sale. Make sure to place them in high-traffic areas like marts, parks, office elevators, and churches so people will see them. You can also ask your friends and family to help out.

Baby & kids clothing, toys, and gadgets sell super well as well as kitchen stuff (dishes, cookware, etc). Adult clothing can sell, but it's generally not as popular as kids clothing. If you don't have many of the best selling items, a garage sale might not be worth your time.

Assess the condition of your items and start pricing using these guidelines that will leave you room to come down in pricing when negotiations begin: Excellent or like-new condition: 50% of original retail price. Good condition: 25%-30% of original retail price. Fair or poor condition: 10% of original retail price.

Plenty of cash.

Get two rolls of quarters, a stack of 50 $1 bills, 10 $5 bills, and 5 $10 bills. Do it two days before the sale so that, if you forget, you can still get the change on the day before.

Whether you print, draw or buy signs, choose large, thick lettering that is bold and easily visible from a distance. Aim for contrast with text that sharply stands out against the background, such as black on white or hot pink.

Early spring (around late March, April, and May) is the most popular time for a garage sale.
