Garage Sales make Bucks fast.
The
majority of information about garage sales on the internet
is advising people to hold garage sales to make money.
Personally, I don’t think holding a garage sale is
a good way to make money. You have to sell everything
cheap just to get rid of it.
Unless
you have a lot of junk and are a compulsive junk collector
this is not a great way to spend your Saturday mornings
for a few dollars. Also, you will need to ensure you always
have something to sell.
You
will make extra cash with a bit of effort and minimum
outlay.
There
are so many bargains out there – SO BEWARE! This
can be addictive and you will get caught up in the ability
to get a bargain and make great cash!
OK,
you are going to need to get up early for this one. If
you want the bargains, you need to get up early. Remember
the old saying, ‘the early bird gets the worm’.
Well this is fairly applicable in this situation.
Don’t
like early starts on your weekend? If so you will miss
out on the opportunities to make cash – its as simple
as that.
HOT
TIP: People that are moving house always have the best
bargains and the cheapest items. This is for obvious reasons
– they need to get rid of it before they move and
are likely to take any offer!
All
garage Sales are not the same!
There
are garage sales and then there are garage sales!
As
mentioned in the previous step, people that are moving
always have great bargains.
The
best locations to go to garage sales are the wealthier
suburbs! You are guaranteed to get better quality products,
better brand names, and with some tough negotiation better
buys – i.e. more profit for you.
I
have found that wealthier households have usually bought
a lot of goods, have had the latest of everything and
are now trying to get rid of it. These families always
have the latest of everything and therefore when they
have a garage sale they are selling quality items and
lots of them.
