The saying that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure is one that
we all find to be very true at one time or another. Many people clear
out their unwanted items and then have a yard or garage sale. A great
place to find items you want and need at bargain prices.
If you don’t like the price on any given item at these sales you can
ask them to lower it. Negotiating the selling price is a common
practice for yard and garage sales. Should the seller not be willing
to lower the price you can always ask them to take down your phone
number and call you if the item doesn’t sell for the price they want.
You will find most people are willing to lower the price rather than
risk the item having to be carried back inside or stored if it doesn’t
sell at the end of the day.
When it comes to yard and garage sales, you will find you have the
best luck if you start out early in the morning. Take the time to read
through the ads in your local newspaper. It can be fun to map our a
route of yard and garage sales you want to hit with a friend or even
as a way to spend some time by yourself. This strategy will prevent
you from constantly backtracking.
The items you will find at a yard or garage sale will vary but some
common items include clothing, furniture, baby items, kitchen item,
art, tools, toys, bikes, and even vehicles. If you are looking for
something in particular then search out ads that have those specific
items.
Since babies outgrow clothes and items like car seats and bassinet’s
quickly, they are often in excellent shape. Career clothes are very
expensive and you can find a wonderful selection of quality work
clothes for both men and women at yard and garage sales. I have come
across ladies’ business suites that still had the tags on them! The
down side to purchasing clothing at yard and garage sales is that you
can’t try them on first to make sure they fit. However, I figure if I
am picking up a $60 skirt and blazer set for $2.50 I will take my
chances!
If you are looking for furniture then target the ads that describe and
estate sale or a moving sale. In most cases, they will be trying to
sell all they can to prevent having to pack it up and move it with
them or pay to place it into storage. You can generally even get them
to assist you with loading the items you purchase or delivering them
if you can negotiate the right deal. In most cases, if you pay for an
item the seller will be happy to allow you to come back later to pick
it up if you need to.
Clothing, household items, jewelry, and baby items are often expensive
you pay retail price for them. You can get a great bargain if you get
up early and go to yard and garage sales. Make sure you head out early
and you have single bills and plenty of change. Then go have fun
seeking the items you are after. If you are like me, there will be
plenty that catches your eye that you decide you want just because you
can’t pass up the great price for it.
