| I was going to sell my wedding dress and books and toys and my husband old DJ stuff and candle and DVD and CD's. We were gonna open up garage sale today. but my husband changes his mind about it. He think he is going to make 25 Dollar without trying to sell something. He give me a lot of stress with money problem. He is keep saying he is almost broke and He feels sad about it and I gave him an idea " why don't we open up the garage sales? make some money on it" He think he is going to make $25. He gave up on this. I want to show him how much do you make when you open up the garage sales then maybe he changes his mind about it. |

| I would have to say it is according to were you live. If the items you listed were sold around here then you would be looking at a few hundred dollars I would say. A friend of mine did one a couple of weeks ago. Just odds and ends from around the house she did not need. some baby clothes and stuff. She ended up makeing just over 500.00 in two days. A friday and Saturday sale.http://www.shesrighthesright.comAlso you might want to sell some of those items on Ebay. |

| First of all, a garage sale takes planning in advance. You can't just decide the day of to do it. You have to organize and price everything. As far as what you can make, just depends what you have to offer. Around here, if you have furniture items on the driveway, that brings 'em in! My husband and I used to have garage sales, and a couple of times we made $500-600. It totally can be done--just depends what you have to sell, and the more "big ticket" items you have the better. And baby stuff too. Good luck--its a lot of work but can be worth it for sure. |

| You can make money on Garage sales. Here are some tips.1. Price items a bit above what you really want to make. (folks are going to ask for lower price - be willing to give it to them - therefore a bit higher so you get price you want)2. Make sure items are displayed nicely3. Make sure items are dusted (meaning items are not dusty or dirty). You'd be amazed how much more you can get for cleaner newer looking items4. Be willing to make on the spot deals. Some folks may say, well if I buy 3 will you give me this price. Go with it. 5. Plan garage sales around most payday schedules (15th and 30th of the month).Another suggestion is to sell your items on e-bay if you're not willing to spend a day outside or in the garage selling your items. As far as money troubles. Start "FOCUSING" on "saving" and "having enough" vs. putting your energy into being broke. If you focus on the positive, your actions will start changing to the postiive to save. Only buy what is NEEDED vs. what you WANT.Good Luck to you.P.S. - I've made between $30 - $50 at Garage sales. I've known others |
