Las Vegas is hot and dusty. If you have electrical items for sale at your garage sale clean them up and try them out to see if they are still working. Also, have power available for potential buyers to check the item. If you are using an extension cord keep it out of pathways to avoid tripping. This is also another reason to not try a solo sale. While you are wrapped up with the testing you have possibly lost some control of your sale.

Checking this weeks newspaper ads something stood out. Buried in the ads were some items that should have been in the ad headline rather than the standard “Garage Sale”. There was a piano in one, a shop smith all purpose wood working machine, left handed golf clubs, antique glass, to mention a few. These items should be in the title or the first items in the ad, not buried. There are a lot of people out there who are looking for these specific items and could be at your sale rather than hit and miss at other sales. Drive people to your sale. Go to garagesalegenie.com and see if we can help. Have a Genie good day!!!!!!

Do not try and put on a garage sale by yourself. It can be overwhelming and get out of control very quickly. I hate to say this, but people will switch price stickers and some of your items may grow legs. Also, keep your money on you( such as in our kit apron ) or make one person in charge of the money and never let it out of site. May all your wishes come true. Garagesalegenie.com

If you say you will be open at 7AM be ready at 6AM. Be ready and set up. One time we were bringing things out of the house and an early bird actually followed us into the house and started pointing at things she was interested in (which were not for sale) asking how much we wanted. Be ready and set up early. Garagesalegenie.com

As you are cleaning out and getting ready for your garage sale you may find items that you have to throw away. If they can be recycled please do. If they are hazardous your trash collector can tell you how to properly dipose of them. It just takes a little effort to keep our world safe for our children.
