What is the best way to organize, price and prepare a garage sale especially if mulitple families are involved? Our neighborhood is having a community garage sale and 4 friends are bringing things to my house for it. Its a month away and I'm already overwhelmed with stuff. What's the best way to make this easy and successful?
My biggest hurdle right now in preparing is getting through all the stuff and pricing it. What's the best way to organize while I'm pricing?

Having a garage sale on Saturday and need to get some idea on a few items of how much people would be willing to pay:

1) Upright entertainment armoire. Good condition except the left side is slightly faded due to sun. Medium wood, 4 doors.

2) Patio set - aluminum round table with 4 chairs (plastic weaving). Some of the weaving at the top of the chairs is coming loose, otherwise in good condition.

3) 26 inch regular tube tv. Works fine.

4) Gas grill. The ignitor has gone up, but it can still be lit with a match. No gas tank, just the grill.

How much would you be willing to pay for these items so I can price them accordingly? Thanks.

I know that's a stupid question, but I've never held a garage sale before nor have I been to very many. I know old, unwanted things around the house are fair game..but what are the limitations to what I can sell? What about silly things like old socks (still in wearable condition)? And what are reasonable prices for things, without being too high or too low? The garage sale is in a month and I'm starting to mark things around the house now. Any other words of advice?
Also, where would be a good place to find extra tables and shelves etc for the sale?

Heidi 4 asked:


Where do you pack up stuff before you start setting up tables for a garage sale. I started to clean everything out and have many, many boxes of stuff until I am at the point that there is no more room for boxes in my garage.

I don't see having the sale as a problem but am really baffled about getting ready for it.
