When To Hold A Garage Sale?
Important! Important! Important!
The date of the sale is one of the most important decisions.
Consider the following when deciding on the 'date'..
- Availability: You have to be available on the date (not working, on holiday etc) and at least one or two days before the sale to get everything together.
- $$$: Best time of the year, financially.
- Weekends: 99% of sales are held on weekends.
- Holidays: Avoid public holidays and long weekends (when people go away).
- Weather: Summer is the best time of the year.
- Rain: Announce a 'if it rains' message. ie Sale on rain hail or shine OR cancelled if raining.
- Nighbours: Consider asking neighbours to have a joint sale (more the merrier)
Importantly, have fun!
