Back by popular demand! The Orchard Park & Sherwood Forest Garage Sale will be May 11, 8:00 am – noon, rain or shine.
Our community garage sales have allowed for our neighbours to:
- participate with minimal effort. That means that the all-important signage and advertising will be taken care of for you.
- put out a little or a lot on your driveway / in your garage if it’s raining
- simply commit to getting your stuff put out before 8:00 a.m. on May 11th and that you have a lot of change on hand – cash is king! Plastic or excess reusable bags are handy to have on hand as well.
- learn / meet more of your neighbours and find treasures for you and yours too!
New to Garage Sale-ing your stuff? Some Tips ….
Some folks don’t have the time or inclination to individually price all of their items. If that is you, be prepared to make snap decisions regarding the offers you get – or answer the questions as to the price you want for any given item or bundles of items.
Other folks like to individually price their items. That way they can have a family member or friend help them and people aren’t left standing and waiting while you’re deciding on prices with an interested buyer.
People love a bargain. Be prepared to be asked if you’ll accept an amount less than “the sticker price” or the price you verbally gave them. Haggling is part of the fun for many people who are avid garage sale-er’s. Don’t take offense!
REMEMBER YOUR OBJECTIVE – clear the clutter! Nothing is too big or too small.
