Are You Moving Soon? 5 Steps To Plan A Garage Sale

Have you made the difficult decision to relocate? Congratulations! Now there is another decision to make. You must plan the relocation well, right from packing, moving, transportation to documentation. It can be overwhelming for you to plan everything and still be in the right frame of mind to leave behind a place you once called home.

At 21st Century Relocations, we can help you with relocation through our 360-degree, seamless and expert-managed moving services. With us, you won’t have to worry about anything.

One of the biggest factors that impact your moving estimate is how much are you carrying along that needs to be packed and transported. A fun way to get rid of the unnecessary things before moving is to plan a garage sale. You can also make some bucks on the side. Here’s how you can plan a garage sale:

1. Organise:

Group the items you want to sell. All clothes can go together, all electronics can be in one place and all curios is one corner. This way you’ll know what is where.

2. Advertise:

If you cannot advertise in a newspaper, advertise using social media or Google. The more people turn up for your sale, the higher the chances are of you selling everything!

3. Display it right:

Hang the clothes so they don’t look shabby, neatly arrange the small items even if they are old, place the electronics near plug points so you can turn it on when someone asks you to and most importantly, put up large boards and signs for people who pass by.

4. Be price-wise:

Everyone knows that the items sold at a garage sale are not new. Do not be greedy and price them super high. Price it reasonably and remember, people will bargain.

5. Space & comfort:

Let there be enough space for the shoppers to move around. You can also make shopping a comfortable experience by putting on some music or spraying some air freshener. People who are comfortable, tend to buy more.

If after everything you are still left with things you don’t want, please donate them to a nearby charity. Don’t throw those things away.
