Have too much to take with you? Maybe a yard sale is what you need. A yard sale could be a great way to part with things you no longer use, but never wanted to throw out just in case someone could use. Well, now is the time to find out if someone can use it, and you could make a few bucks!
Before having that yard sale, here a few things to consider:
Advertise! Make sure you include your address, phone number (for confirmation or directions) and day/time of the event. If you live in Southern New Jersey, your best bet is the Courier Post and/or the Burlington County Times. Also keep in mind what you will do in case of rain. Do you have a garage or porch you can move too? If not, have a rain date set and include that in your ad. Use directional signs as well. Agents use them to drive traffic to Open Houses...why not use the same idea for your sale!
Start with enough change and small bills to accommodate those without exact change. Decide whether you will accept checks and from whom. Be prepared to negotiate on price. While your items may contain a lot of personal value and memories...remember that the buyer doesn't share this attachment.
Most importantly have fun! The moving process can be very emotional - but should be a fun and exciting time!
