Southdown Fall Community Garage Sale Set for October 18
Southdown neighbors in Copperfield are getting ready to clear out closets, garages, and attics for the annual Southdown Fall Community Garage Sale, happening on Saturday, October 18, from 8:00 a.m. to noon. The event offers more than just bargains—it’s a chance for neighbors to connect, recycle unused items, and support one another in creating a lively morning of community exchange.
For many residents, the Southdown garage sale has become a fall tradition. Shoppers come looking for everything from children’s clothing and toys to furniture, kitchenware, and seasonal décor. Sellers often describe it as a chance to declutter while giving their belongings a new life in another household.
Tips to Get Ready as a Seller
To make the most of the day, a little preparation goes a long way:
-
Sort and organize early: Take time to go through closets, storage bins, and sheds. Neatly folding or grouping items makes them easier for buyers to browse. Give dusty items a quick wipe-down so your items look appealing to potential buyers.
-
Price items clearly: Use easy-to-read tags or stickers. Buyers often appreciate bundled pricing for small items, like “3 for $1.”
-
Stage your setup: Displaying items on tables or racks helps them stand out. Keep high-demand items like electronics, children’s gear, or furniture visible from the street to draw shoppers in.
-
Have small bills and coins ready: Change is essential for smooth transactions. Consider offering mobile payment options if you’re comfortable.
-
Advertise your highlights: Let neighbors and friends know about unique or big-ticket items you’ll have available. Word-of-mouth brings more foot traffic.
