Is your house overflowing with unused items and want to maximize your income? You can turn them into cash by having a yard sale.
However, it requires a lot of work and could be a waste of time if you are not taking the rights step.
To make your yard sale successful the first step that you need to do is to collect all things that you have not used for over a year.
Plan at least a few weeks and organize the things you are going to put on sale. Have a place and the right time to do it. Most people are off on weekends, so it is best to schedule your sale on a Saturday and be sure that the weather is nice. If the weather is not good, find a way to keeps the items secure and protected from rain.
On pricing your items, it is important to place the price tag clearly so your costumer won't have to ask what it is. By keeping the prices low, this will allow you to sell many more items.
Placing an ad on a local newspaper will also add to your yard sale traffic. If your place is close to a busy street, you can post it to make it easier for the costumers to find the way to your sale. Place signs in different places such as telephone poles.
Finally, have as many tables as you can, to space your items out well and do not just spread them on the ground.
