Whether you are moving or just want to de-clutter, having a garage sale is a great way to get rid of stuff you are not using and make some extra money! Here's where to start:

Advertise Your Sale

• Advertise your sale in the local newspaper and at local grocery stores.
  
• Mention the date, time, place and any key items for sale, including what you're selling (i.e., gas grill, bike, kitchen table and chairs, etc.).

Make Signs

• Place signs in your front yard (make them visible from the street), at street corners and at busy town intersections. Mark the sign with arrows pointing in direction of sale.
  
• Purchase garage sale signs or make your own out of poster board (attach it to a wooden stake). Use stencil letters, stickers or print in permanent marker. Make letters large enough to be visible from the street.

TIP: Hang helium balloons from the sign to attract more attention. And don't forget: Take signs down after the sale!
