Garage Sales - Turn Junk Into Cash

Saturday March 25, 2006
The spring cleaning bug has hit me. Last weekend I went through closets, drawers, the utility room and even ventured up in the attic pulling out junk. What was the message that came through loud and clear from all my hard work? I am a terrible hoarder.

My good friend is worse than I am, so I called her to see if she is interested in having a garage sale together. Good news. She is just as anxious as I am to turn our stuff into cash. We always follow basically the same setup and things run smoothly, but more importantly - we always end up with enough cash to go on a shopping spree the following weekend. Here is how we turn our junk into cash.

Share your tips on what you do to make your garage sale a success.

If there is a Craig’s list that covers your area, use that for a free garage sale listing. We did it for our last sale and I was amazed how many saw it there, instead of the newspaper.
