A garage sale you can learn from!

I had the pleasure of stopping by at a garage sale in Maplewood, NJ today that was a great example of what people should do when having a garage sale.
This particular sale was listed in my e-mail blast which I send out on Thursday evenings. The sale is located at 3 Oakland Terrace and will be tomorrow and Sunday starting at 9 am. For those of you who are around in the area this weekend, be sure to stop by! There is definitely something for everyone.

The reason I thought it was a great garage sale was because it was well organized and the prices were fair. The items being sold were either in their original boxes or in ziploc bags. There were toys and halloween costumes in one area, tools in another and housewares in another. Furniture was displayed in all areas and that made shopping more interesting. The items actually being sold in the garage was nicley set up as well.

I picked up a great wood and fabric folding chair while I was looking for toys, which they had an abundance of!

When you go out exploring and shopping garage sales, always try to notice the way people set things up and the prices they charge for items. Try to notice what their customers are buying too-these tips can help you with your own sale one day!
