• Organization is very important to a garage sale hunter. Nothing will turn people away from your sale more than an unorganized event. Try and keep the area clean. Also, consider the way people will be walking through the area. Be sure to leave them enough room to view all the items for sale. This will increase item exposure, which in turn will generate more cash for you.
  
  
• Make sure that all of your items are labeled with the sale price. Also, since garage sale hunters are bargain hunters, always keep the price of the item marked a little higher than the price you are looking for. This gives you the ability to negotiate with people, while still getting the profits you are looking for.
  
  
• When selling items for family members or friends, be sure to mark the items with different colored labels. This will make dividing up the profits easier.
