Have a garage sale....at someone else's house!

I happened upon two interesting sales this weekend and I will blog about each one separately.

I always like to look at antiques and there was an ad for that at a house pretty close to mine. This nice couple were major collectors-they had eveything from crystal chandeliers and vintage doorbells to Italian ceramic ashtrays and 1950s barware. It was fun to look around but what was interesting was they had the garage sale not at thier home-but at thier realtor's!

The realtor was a very nice woman who offers her front yard out to her clients (and former clients) to hold garage sales. This particular couple found a house through this realotr off the beaten path and the realtor said there was now way they could hold a successful sale at thier location, so she offered up hers. She lives on a major street in my town and at the end of the day, they had a very successful sale.

The moral of this post is, if you don't think your sale location will attract potential buyers, borrow a friend's -- or realtor's.
