The Art of Garage Saling

Five Fast Tips from RedFlagDeals.com

Toronto, ON - May 8, 2008 – Whether it’s time to clean out your attic and have your own garage sale – or whether you are looking to fill an empty space, the warm weather is here – and that means it’s Garage Sale Season.

1. Research and more research.  Check Local Papers as well as the classified sections of the bigger circulation papers like the Toronto Star.  Check for items of interest.  (Hint:  This is where you skip the sales that say “street sale of gently used baby items” if you are a student looking for used furniture.

2. Use the RedFlagDeals.com Garage Sale Locator.  It’s free.  The newly launched Garage Sale Locater makes things a lot easier.  You can find Garage Sales near your home on a Google Map and plan your route at the same time. Visit http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/garagesales/

3. Plan your attack.  Map out your route and plan where you’ll start.  Sales start at different times.  Many like to use a map guide – now you can use the Garage Sale locator.

4. Hit the road EARLY – You know the saying “Early bird gets the worm.” Prioritize your sales and make sure you are there at the beginning of the sale that is number one on your list.  The good stuff goes fast.

5. At the Sale – Buyer Beware.  Check out merchandise for cracks, chips and operability.  Ask the owner if there is an electrical outlet around where you might be able to plug in something electrical.  There is usually a NO REFUND policy on Garage Sales.

The added benefit of the Garage Sale locator?  You can list YOUR Garage Sale when you need to make room for all of your new stuff.
