| Early Preparation for Garage Sales
|
|
I have several boxes set up in the garage for our annual garage sale. They are labeled: Toys, Clothes, Housewares, Books, and Misc. I keep a package of price stickers and a pen handy. Every time I come across something for the garage sale while cleaning, I put the items into the sale boxes and price it right then.

| Getting Kids Involved In Garage/Yard Sales
|
|

Spring is coming and now is the time make preparations for having a yard or garage sale. And, yes - this includes the kids too.
I know for me spring always meant upcoming garage/yards sales to go to with my mom, but more importantly those garage/yard sales I had with my mom. From these early experiences, I learned many valuable lessons that I use to this day. These include, the necessity of de-cluttering, finance, how to make change, how to price an item, how to organize and display items, and customer service. Thanks to my mom's help, I was able to engage in an entrepreneurial endeavor at the tender age of eight. I have fond memories of my many mini-business endeavors and feel that these ventures contributed to my desire and successes in owning my own business now. Here are some pointers to get your child involved in having a garage or yard sale of his or her own when you have one.

| My First Garage Sale
|
|
HI, I am getting ready to have my first garage sale the middle of next month. Anyone have any tips to make it a success? I have a bunch of reasonably good stuff that I would like to turn into some cash to help fund some camping trips we want to go on this summer. Thanks in advance, Anne.

| Discarding Unneeded Items
|
|
Once a month go through all of your drawers and closets for discards. Put discards in a box for donation or to sell at a garage sale. If for a garage sale, make sure you price things as you pack them. It will make your sale much easier.
