You often hear people talk about how one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. That is what makes local garage sales such a huge hit among those looking for a little bit of treasure of their own. We all have stuff laying around that we have either grown out of, upgraded, or simply gown tired of. Rather than getting rid of those items, they usually end up being stuck in the garage or in an area of the house where we put old items to die. Why not take the time to finally get rid of all that stuff and make a little money in the process? It is almost certain that the items you view as junk are currently sitting on someone else’s “must have’ list. For example, that old record player that hasn’t spun a tune in years may be the perfect purchase for someone that loves the sound of vinyl. Not only will you be freeing up some much needed space in your home, you might make more than you ever expected from those items. Heck, you might even be able to get your car back in your stuffed garage. It’s not really entirely known how the concept of the local yard sale got started, but you can almost imagine that it was born out of some guy getting tired of hearing his wife complaining about all the junk accumulating in the garage. Perhaps it might even been someone who just saw a way to solve their immediate need for cash by selling off the stuff that they no longer had a use for. Whatever the case, garage sales are now big business, especially if you can get the word out about your impending sale. Getting the word out hasn’t always been that easy, usually involving spending money and doing a little bit of leg work. What that meant was spending a small fortune to take out a tiny ad in the local paper in the hopes that a few folks might scour the classifieds and catch sight of your garage sale. On top of that, you also had to either buy or make signs that then had to be placed in strategic points around the block so that passers-by might be enticed into your local garage sale. Both strategies work to a certain extent, but there is now a much easier, more effective way to get the word out.
