Copperbrook Residents Gear Up for a Neighborhood-Wide Garage Sale on October 18
Copperbrook neighbors, the big day is almost here! On Saturday, October 18, from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, driveways all across the neighborhood will become pop-up shops for the Copperbrook Community Garage Sale — a beloved tradition that’s equal parts treasure hunt and community gathering.
From vintage knick-knacks and toys to gently used tools and household finds, there’s always something surprising to discover. But beyond the bargains, this day is really about neighbors connecting, waving hello, and maybe sharing a laugh (or a good-natured haggling session) along the way.
Whether you’re hosting a sale or strolling the neighborhood, it’s a great way to enjoy the cooler weather and see familiar faces.

Hosting a Sale? Tips to Make It a Success
1. Start Early.
Shoppers often arrive right at 6:00 AM looking for first picks. Have your items out, priced, and ready by then.
2. Make It Easy to Browse.
Group similar items together — toys with toys, clothes by size, kitchen gear all in one spot. It helps buyers stay longer (and buy more).
3. Price to Move.
Remember, people come for bargains. Use painter’s tape or stickers for easy labeling, and be ready to negotiate.
4. Bring Change and Bags.
Having small bills on hand makes transactions smooth. Consider offering a mobile payment app like Venmo. Bonus points if you offer bags for buyers!
5. Partner with a Neighbor.
Combine forces for a bigger spread. It draws more foot traffic and makes the day more fun.
6. Stay Comfortable.
Bring a lawn chair, wear sunscreen, and have water nearby. A small Bluetooth speaker with music never hurts either.
Above all, enjoy it. The Copperbrook garage sale isn’t just about getting rid of stuff — it’s a chance to meet new neighbors, reconnect with old friends, and feel a little more rooted in this great community.
