- Have as many tables available as possible to place items
for sale on.
- Have at least $30 in small bills and coins for change.
- It is best to accept cash only.
- Keep your money safe by using a fanny pack or apron with
pockets. This will also keep you from running back and
forth to a money box.
- Have bags handy for people who purchase multiple items.
Use saved grocery bags - paper and plastic - and a few
empty boxes would be nice too.
- Make sure that everything is in working order. Have some
batteries ready to test things that require batteries, and an
extension cord to test electrical items.
- It is a good idea to write down the items that you sold and
for how much you sold them. Keep a calculator handy for
adding items up.
- If you have a lot of clothes or books, consider offering a
certain price per bag full or box full.
- Consider selling some beverages on the side. Sodas,
coffee, etc. will bring in a little extra cash, and people may
stay to browse longer.
- Watch out for buyers who pile up a lot of items and then
offer one price for the pile (usually low). Go through the
pile and add it up. If you don't, you will never know what
they may have hidden in the center of the pile.
- Invite a friend or two to join in the fun. One person can act
as "background", keeping an active eye on everything.
- Get a good night sleep the night before so you're wide
awake and ready to start selling!
