Bin There Dump That has developed a comprehensive Garage Sale Guide with tips and tricks to help local homeowners plan and execute a successful, enjoyable yard sale. The guide is available for downloading at http://www.bintheredumpthatusa.com/pdf/1/garage-sale-guide.pdf.

Before holding a yard sale, however, Mike Kernaghan, CEO of Bin There Dump That, suggests that homeowners follow several basic preparatory steps.

First, people should confirm that their community and/or neighborhood allows homeowners to hold a garage or yard sale. Then, look into permit requirements and pick a day when people are likely to come; Saturdays are often best.

People should do their research if they are selling art, jewelry, fashion items, books or other items that could have substantial value. Then, focus on pricing things right, keeping in mind that anything that is sold is for a profit because these are items that the seller did not want or need anyway.

Make plans to get the word out before the sale through social media and word-of-mouth. People should place eye-catching, easy-to-read signs, along with balloons on the day of the sale, at major intersections near their home and at the entrance to their neighborhood.

Kernaghan said that another way to attract potential buyers is to make the sale a neighborhood event. Neighbors may even want to share the expense of a dumpster to dispose of the items that don't sell.

Those who select items for the garage sale should remember that they have already made the decision that they don't need them anymore. Stick to that decision and discard them rather than cart them back inside.
