Frequently Asked Questions


How to advertise a sale?
Apply online, it only takes a few minutes to submit the information required for an advert: address, date, times, items for sale plus validate the advertiser.

"When" to have a garage sale?
Always plan well in advance, avoid long weekends and public holidays. Saturdays are the best day to have a garage sale by far. Sunday's are ok but statistics clearly show very few buyers are interested in Sundays.

"When" to advertise?
Submit as soon as you know the date. Adverts can be active up to one month in advance with address privacy (hidden address). Don't leave it to the last minute, stats show buyers create shopping lists on Friday nights and very early Saturday morning.

Address Information
A full validated address is required for the sales finder and maps to work.

Number & Street | Privacy
Advertisers' may elect to protect their privacy by hiding the address until sale day.

Multiple Dwellings | Street, Estate, Town, Community
Apply for a single advert and include only 'your' address. Advise details of the other sales in the 'About Sale' field.  We'll do the rest and remove your address.

Details to include: number of dwellings/sales, where to get maps (if applicable), best entry (estate), best parking (street), reason for sale (community) and anything else that is relevant.

Do I need to advise when the sale has finished?
No, adverts automatically expire at midnight on the date of sale.

Early Bird Warning?
This tells people not to arrive before the designated start time. Unfortunately, some buyers (often professional traders) turn up early while you're trying to set-up. Not only is it inconvenient, it can also be a security concern.

Fundraising Events?
Are very welcome (free). Submit an application and select a 'Fundraiser' or 'Fete | Fair' banner. We'll do the rest.

Dealers & Buyers  | Not Welcome!
The biggest blight in the industry are dealers and professional buyers. They spoil it for everyone! Calling before the start date/time, pressure haggling and buying. They flood websites sourcing sale information. We monitor visitors and block suspected dealers.

Phone Number, Email Address & Web Links
Contact information is required to validate the advertiser but remains strictly confidential. Telephone numbers, address and web links are removed from advert descriptions to comply with Australian Privacy Laws.

Images 

To comply with Australian Copyright Law, ten photographs (not artwork), taken by the advertiser of items for sale. One-time upload (no edits).

How to edit an advert

Go to the advert, scroll down below the content to the EDIT button and request changes including dates, address, times, description and cancellation.

Can I make changes myself? (ie login)

Simple answer: no! It would allow anyone to write anything they wanted. Imagine the law suits, the potential for disaster. We keep it simple, we do it for you. Can you think of any "Australian" website that allows it? Internationally based websites like Facebook and Gumtree maybe, but not Australian.

Failed (Standard) Applications
If an application fails, advertisers’ are welcome to re-apply with amended details. If a duplicated application deletes all sales, consider a Featured Listing.

I have another question that has not been answered here. Can I call you?
No, Gazza's is not supported by telephone, but you can email Gazza.
