Setting up and organizing your own oklahoma city concrete sale can be a huge task that involve knowing what to sell, how to sell, creating space for your garage sale items and pricing the garage items so they would sell for a profit. Pricing items at a garage sale for optimum results is a skill that you will need to pick up over time. I will give you a head start of how to do it when you read on.
Firstly, you have to know your goals for setting up your own garage sale. Is it just for clearing your garage items away or you have high-end garage items that you would like to earn a profit from it. If your main purpose is to clear away clutter, then it is best to price the items lower to encourage a purchase or sale. Bit if you want to make money from the high-end garage items and antiques that you have then you will need to price the items higher so you can make a profit out of it.
One tip is to use the percentage rule like for example, price the garage sale items at ten percent than the original cost. For example, if you brought a toy that cost you twenty dollars then it should be priced at two dollar at your own garage sale. This is due to the old garage items you have and also have to depend on the condition of the garage item too.
You will have to factor in the condition of the garage items when placing a price tag for an item for a garage sale. Something that is in poor condition or electronics that don’t work should be priced way lower and then marked on the tag “the lowest price possible” to discourage customers from asking for a further discount.
You can also bundle similar garage items for one price. Books, electronics items, PC games, movie videos, craft supplies or golf balls are items that can be sold together. If you just want to get rid of the garage items in bulk then up the quantity to five for a dollar sale. Hope you get what I mean.
Some ways to promote your garage sale is to advertise your sale in the local paper or an on line site. Listing some popular items for sale will tends to attract more customers/visitors. If you can lower the prices by half on the last day of your sale, you will find that your items will sell like hot cakes, if you want to clear most of the items at one go.
