Anything you no longer need is good to sell at a garage sale. High dollar items sell for more of course. A 25 inch color television is going to go for more than a pair of roller skates.
But why are you asking that question in Cars & Transportation > Buying & Selling? Are you selling a car at the yard sale?
Probably some old things that are in good shape. Also, say it is an antique and sell for high price. Clothes, toys, appliances, tools, and more- That’s all good stuff. Also, if you have some flowers, you can put them out or sell them.Try to make your house noticeable to attract customers.

Anything sells good as long as you have yard sale prices. Kitchen items sell good for me. Clothes sell best when I sell them so many pieces for a set price no matter what pieces they pick. Jewelry sells good if you display it nicely. Go through closets, bathroom cabinets and under beds. You may even find stuff in your attic. Toiletries from your bathroom sell best when bagged in ziploc bags as sets.
Okay, we all know that women stop at yard sales. How do we draw in the male customers? Easy!! Make a “Man” table and display it in the front where it can easily be seen from the road. Put things on it like tools, tackle boxes, ice chest, fishing stuff, car stuff, golf stuff, video games (real good one!), old radios, outside tools or gardening related stuff and anything else that draws the interest of men. I do this at my sales and a lot of men stop just to look at the man table. I also advertise it on a local yard sale site. Search the internet to see if you have a local yard sale site. Rather you advertise on the internet or in the newspaper, make sure you include that there will be a man table just for the guys.
Don’t forget to have an ice chest of cold drinks to sell. Also use fans aimed at the loot to keep everyone cool. The more comfortable your customers are the longer they will stay. Display everything as nicely as possible so that it doesn’t look like junk from the road, or up close. Use sheets for table clothes and price everything. There is nothing more intimidating than to go to a yard sale and have to ask what everything costs. It tends to make your customers uncomfortable and obligated to buy something. Last but not least, don’t forget bags, newspaper and boxes for packing up the purchases. Good Luck!
Note: This is not joke, I made $1500.00 at my last yard sale. It ran from Friday to Sunday. Sunday was slow but it was worth it.
Great Money Making Opportunity – Car Boot resale, I am looking for a quick sale??
People go to garage sales to find bargains. Don’t expect to get half retail value for your used stuff. Expect to get maybe a quarter of what it’s worth new. Even collectibles people won’t pay top dollar for at a garage sale. A garage sale is normally done to sell items you no longer have room or use for and instead of discarding or going thru the hassel of listing items on ebay and shipping them. People will haggle you to death at a garage sale too, so be prepared for that.
