YARD SALE DOS AND DON'TS

John D. Schroeder, author of Garage Sale Fever!,
tell you how to get the most cash.

DON'T sell on Sundays - People think items are picked over. Sunday Saturday are better.

DO stick close to traffic - Move tables to your lawn's edge and display large, unusual signs.

DON'T skimp on used books, CDs and DVDs -Charge 25 cent to $2 -they're cash cows.

DO apply price stickers - Hike prices a bit, too: If you want $1, try $1.50. Get ready to haggle.

DON'T be greedy - At most, charge $2 to $4 for every $10 you spent, even if the item is new.

DO say that you've open to offers - and want to sell it all - it gets folks in a buying mood.
 
DON'T sell on Sundays - People think items are picked over. Sunday Saturday are better.

Not if you live in a Jewish neighborhood. Better say "One day only - Sunday" so they don't think items were picked over.
