Yard sale vs Garage sale

Sounds like the title of a techno tune, doesn’t it.

Well, fortunately there’s nothing too technical in deciding whether to host a yard sale over a garage sale, or vice versa.

The first question to ask yourself of course is ‘do I have a garage or yard’?

Assuming you have one of the above, the next consideration is which of your yard or garage (or both) has the most space. If, for example, your garage is jam-packed with stuff you need to keep secure, best to use the yard and keep the garage under lock and key.

However, if your garage is full of stuff you don’t need, and which isn’t especially valuable, your big sale could be just the opportunity you need to tidy up!

Then, have a think about the ambience of your garage or your yard. If one is way more pleasant than the other, this may tip your decision, since people feel more comfortable purchasing when they’re in agreeable surroundings.

Finally, you’ll need to consider how much shelter your visitors, and your sale items, require. A garage of course has its own canopy, so you won’t need to mess around erecting tarpaulins to keep the sun or rain out. On the other hand, if the weather forecast is fine and moderate, your beautiful yard may well encourage buyers to linger in the sun.
