Minot ND Rummage / Garage Sales
Rummage sales are VERY popular in Minot North Dakota. It is very rare to see one during our winters so all those Rummage Sale-aholics are about to explode about now. Just like selling a house, the earlier in the spring you put it up for sale (Rummage or your house) the more likely you are to have success.
Here are a few tips for you to have a successful rummage sale in Minot ND.
1) Price it like you want to sell it (this goes for houses too by the way)
2) Price it!!! Avid rummage salers absolutely HATE it when you are to lazy to price your stuff. If your going with "make an offer" then don't get mad when I offer you 1 cent because that's how my dad taught me to respond to your "make an offer".
3) Clean it!Nobody wants to handle dirty stuff.
4) Don't pile clothing on a table. Is that how you had it in your house? If you can nor figure out a way to put it out on a hanger just give it to Goodwill.
5) Don't tell us your dog doesn't bite and look out for his little bombs.
6) Avid rummage salers don't like it when you say "sale starts at 9:00" and when we get there at ten to 9:00 you have nearly sold out.
The long and short of it is prepare for your rummage sale and do it right. Good signage, put it in the paper, price it, clean it, and hang it up.
SHOPPERS, speaking from experience any rummage sale in any part of town can be good. If you can get on at the Minot Air Force base they have some of the very best rummage sales. Generally speaking the worst sales I've been to are in the highest end of town because those folks tend to think they should get retail for their used stuff (I assume they are struggling to make their house payment).
