Who's ready to get rid of some clutter this weekend? Yard and garage sale season is officially here.I couldn't help but notice how many yard sale signs I saw on my run this morning. Here are some tips on how to have a super successful yard or garage sale this season.

Dos:

Have a group sale instead of a one-family sale.

Items should be priced accordingly.

The best time to have a yard slale are non holiday weekends.

Tools and gadgets are big draws, especially for men. Have your best stuff closer to the road.

Be less flexible about your price at the beginning of the sale and more flexible towards the end.

Don'ts:

Don't let strangers in your house at any time, especially to try on clothes or to use the restroom.

Don't keep your money in a shoebox. Keep a cell phone handy just in case of a problem..

Don't take your eyes off your potential customers. Look out for the possibility of tag switching.

Don't let your customers try and confuse you when giving change. Some people will tell you thay gave you a $20 bill when they only gave you a $10.

Don't forget Margate's annual citywide yard sale is on this weekend at over a hundred locations throughout the city.

Have a great bargain hunting weekend!
