β° Start & End Times: Official hours are Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 10 AM to 4 PM. Mark your calendar and set a phone alert right now. Get ready early so you are prepared before shoppers arrive.
π§οΈ Rain or Shine: This event proceeds regardless of weather. If the forecast calls for rain, consider using your garage or a canopy tent if available.
πͺ§ Signage: If your sale is in your backyard or garage, put a sign in your front yard or parkway directing shoppers exactly where to walk.
π¨οΈ Print the Official Flyer: If you have a printer, display a copy at your sale so curious passersby can scan the QR code to see the seller map!
πΆ Clear the Path: Keep sidewalks clear for pedestrians and strollers. If selling in an alley garage, please ensure cars can still pass through.
πΈ Payments: Be prepared with a "bank" of small bills ($1s and $5s) to make change. Consider accepting digital payments like Zelle, PayPal, Apple Pay or Cash App for larger purchases.
π° Pricing & Haggling:
π·οΈ Tag Your Items: Use neon stickers, tags, or masking tape. 78% of shoppers expect price tags. Don't let shy buyers walk away!
π¦ Bin, Box & Rack Signs: Save time by grouping similar items together instead of tagging every single piece. For example, use "ENTIRE BOX $10" for a bulk clearance, or "ALL ITEMS ON RACK $5 EACH" for individual pieces.
ππ½ββοΈ Price to Move: Don't be greedy. The goal is to clear out your space, not get rich. Offer bargains so items fly off the table.
π§Ί Bundle Items: If a buyer shows interest in multiple items, offer a quantity discount to clear inventory fast.
π₯ The Afternoon Fire Sale: If it's 1:00 PM and you still have plenty of stuff, slash prices in half. The goal is to sell, not whine about hauling things back inside.
