    $1600???? That’s amazing! The most I’ve ever made is $400! Well done! Garage sales are a lot of work but it’s 100% worth it to have the cash instead of clutter!

  • @fedoranahmens7096
    @fedoranahmens7096 6 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Nice work! So clean and organized. I wouldn't do Goodwill (they throw away or over price a lot), but found a nice shelter or some place like that to donate. Your donation there goes straight to the ones in need

    • @jeanieshank1433
      @jeanieshank1433 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Goodwill is also very bad business practices and how they treat people and use people with disabilities. I don’t buy from them or donate to them. I like animal charities.

    You are so organized and you did such a great job!! My daughter and husband and I did a sale two years in a row and she got all the money for her first car! It was so much fun to do with her and she got a good chunk of change for her car. It was hard work and we didn't have an available garage so we used our front lawn and had to stage the stuff in the morning each day of the sale and then put it all inside each night. Good memories though and even though we worked very hard it was fun as well!!

    I had a garage sale yesterday, haven't even counted the cash yet. I had at one point, 20 people in my garage and driveway. The women noticed I was a Hobby Lobby and HomeGoods girl. It was a little stressful, but seeing all the people come was pretty cool.

  • @karenstone3625
    @karenstone3625 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Congrats Crystal! You were successful because you did it RIGHT! I’ve done my sales exactly the same way and it really is a lot of work... presentation and preparation equals $$

  • @julieradaker4853
    @julieradaker4853 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Wow. Very impressive. Your sale was very organized. Where I live, garage sales usually start on Thursday. Have had a couple garage sales, and you are right, they are so much work. I was happy to make over $100.00. Thanks for sharing.

  • @sarahedgar8812
    @sarahedgar8812 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Also, I loved your tip about not sitting right near the clothes. When I'm at baby markets I always feel the seller staring!

  • @matirodriguez2990
    @matirodriguez2990 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I used to have garage sales often but it's so much work, you price stuff cheap and people still wanna bargain with you and try to get it cheaper, that's so annoying so I just donate it and that's it!!

  • @ksmiley013
    @ksmiley013 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    The amount of baby/kids clothes you had was insane. That was so overwhelming to look at.

  • @heatherlynn7379
    @heatherlynn7379 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Wow! That’s awesome! I’m excited if I make around $100 lol

  • @luckyfrog84
    @luckyfrog84 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Love how organized your sale was ! I'm more likely to stop and buy things when people have everything laid out nice 😄 where I live in rural Indiana people have garage sales every day of the week lol ...we used to live in Illinois and yard sales were usually Thursday-Saturday so coming here was a big change 😜

  • @WSugerfoot2
    @WSugerfoot2 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I haven't finished the video yet. 4 years ago I purged my entire house, knowing we would be buying a house and moving. I took about a month and organized everything. It was a very good sale. I made close to $1400! Nothing was priced high. I think pricing to sell is the way to go. People don't want to spend a lot at garage sales. I sold tons of Gymboree and name brand clothes for cheap. People bought more when they weren't priced high.

  • @Makeupjunki76
    @Makeupjunki76 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Wow! $1600😳. I really like the way you bundled the outfits together. You certainly earned that $1600.

  • @francesrosas435
    @francesrosas435 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The amount of stuff you have for sale proofs that that we have a huge problem in America. Over-shopping, lack of recycling, falling for sales and buying without a real purpose. However, Thanks for the tips.

  • @darcarhorst715
    @darcarhorst715 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Wow! Thats great! 👍 I had a garage sale this spring & we made $850 - $900 between everyone that had things there, but you definitely had more baby clothes then we did.

  • @kelseyreilly167
    @kelseyreilly167 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Incredible. Would like to see more on how you priced your other items!

  • @ericak1949
    @ericak1949 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think the Thursday garage sales are regional..in Pa, its very rare to see garage sales on Thursdays. Glad it worked out for you! Impressed that you priced each baby clothing item..been to a ton of yard sales and my biggest pet peeve is when NOTHING is priced. Your sale looked like a consignment sale!! 👏

    • @lmk1971
      @lmk1971 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm in PA also and in my area Thursday yard sales are common. It was always my busiest day when I had them. Must be a reginal thing.

  • @madycat71

    Here is Saturday and Sunday morning the best day for garage sale, during the week everyone is working.

  • @leighanneh3272
    @leighanneh3272 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    My garage selling heart was so happy to hear/see how clean & organized your sale was! Would it be ridiculous for me to drive from Texas to shop your next sale?!😜

    • @cristinatrinks1691
      @cristinatrinks1691 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Same here. This probably is one of the most organized and well put together sales I have ever seen! And that's including some consignment shops as well.

  • @graciesgrammavlogs3355
    @graciesgrammavlogs3355 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    We price everything in quarter increments (.25 .50 $1 $2 etc) so we didn’t have to deal with odd amounts. Totaling a purchase went much quicker!!

    • @CrystalTara
      @CrystalTara  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      YES! That is a great tip as well!!

  • @gailkathan4235
    @gailkathan4235 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow!! Great sale and great tips. Sales start on Thursday where I live, sometimes even Wednesdays. Signage is key. We yardsale a lot, clear signs and direction are what we look for. My son is getting married next summer and we are finding a ton of wedding decor at yardsales!! LOVE it💖

  • @teresakowal71
    @teresakowal71 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Omg 100% agree on all this! I love doing yard sales and yep all I do too especially taking a lower price and when it’s done I load it up right there and take it to donate after the sale. I used to keep things year to year and some years i didn’t want to store so I just got rid of it. But yes you hit the nail on the head! I contemplated starting a yard sale business because I think a lot of people want to do it but are overwhelmed and don’t but I never did it. Wished I did for summer fun and money lol. Wow! How much you sold!! Awesome!!!

    Have you ever done children’s consignment sales? I sell all my daughters clothes that way. It’s a little work tagging them and you have to track down hangers, but I usually make 2-5$ per item on average for clothes.

    • @donnastratton8397
      @donnastratton8397 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've only had 2 in the past 25 years and didn't do very well. So it's more trouble than it's worth for me. I just donate to the local thrift store and be done with it.

  • @indigoblue4791
    @indigoblue4791 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    What fantastic tips and tricks for someone who hasn't done this before. You did so well to raise so much money for home improvements. I think it's success seemed to be 90% in the advertising widely and planning out your items so they were easy to find, with a price that was reasonable for secondhand items. A price on everything is very important for me. l don't want to have to go back and forward to the seller checking how much they wanted for each item. I would pass things by rather than ask repeatedly. How did the kids lemonade and cookie stand do?

    Nice tips but I'm not sold on the Thursday thing. Your first day should always be your best because everyone wants to be the first to see the good stuff and that's when you sell the most desirable items. The other days are picked over. When I was doing sales I wouldn't even bother with a picked over sale. If it started Thursday or Friday I wouldn't even bother to go on Sat or Sunday. If you start on a Saturday, it will be your first day and it will be good. Yes people are busy on weekends but most people are working on Thursdays and Fridays and can't get to your sale.

    • @kikim2592

    Ugh!! I hate it when people “rummage”. No consideration for other shoppers. It drives me nuts when I have to go through a mess that someone else created. It’s the same in the toddler clothing area at Walmart. It seriously doesn’t take that much effort to put things back where you found them... folded. 🙄 Sorry. *rant over*
