Cypress Mill Community Garage Sale Scheduled for October 15
October 12 2023
It's time to turn your unused items into cash!
On Sunday, October 15, the Cypress Mill community is invited to participate in this community-wide garage sale. The event will be open for the entire day, so you can sell your wares, shop for great bargains from your neighbors, or both!
Make your garage sale a success with these tips:
-
Place high-value items in a visible area for safekeeping and to attract potential customers to your sale.
- Organize clothing by size and gender.
- Collaborate with your children to select items they would like to sell such as toys they haven't played with in a while, outgrown clothes or bicycles that are now too small.
- When putting out your items, consider placement so that items are easily visible and appealing for customers. Clean items that are particularly dirty for higher appeal and presentation.
- Label items with prices prior to the sale by designating item types or groups of items with a specific price and/or individually pricing items.
- Have cash on hand in a lock box to make change for your customers. Be sure to keep your sale cash on hand at all times!
- Place a sign in your yard with a brief description of featured items in your sale like bicycles, grills or large workout equipment to attract customers.
- Have an idea of the lowest price you will accept for groups of items prior to the sale so you are prepared to bargain with hagglers.
Have fun and best of luck at the sale!
