West Hills Real Estate-Let's Have a Garage Sale
Let’s Have a Garage Sale!
Before the Sale
-
Find out if your West Hills area requires a permit or has any restrictions regarding garage sales.
- When choosing items to sell, a good rule to follow is sell anything you have not used for a while, or that you don't foresee ever using again.
- Pick your sale dates. The most popular days are Thursday through Saturday on a non-holiday weekend.
Place a short ad in your local newspaper. This will attract people who wouldn't normally see your street signs.
- Invite a neighbor or friend to join in your West Hills sale, the more stuff you have to sell, the better! Plus, it's cheaper to split the cost of the newspaper ad with someone.
- Price everything! Prices should generally be 10-50% of the original price of the item, depending on condition and desirability.
- For pricing, use permanent markers and removable self-adhesive labels.
- Price items in increments of 25 cents for easy change-making.
- Anything damaged or not in working order should be marked "as is".
- Make signs to post on your front lawn and permissible West Hills street corners.
- Signs should be big enough to read while driving by - at least 24" by 24" - with short, large text.
- Balloons and large arrows are also helpful to direct customers to your West Hills sale.
