There’s an app called TallySheet that allows you to ring up sales and track them right on your phone or tablet.

We had a garage sale the same day and only made $175. We've never had good luck with sales and I thought this would finally be our time since we were selling a couch set and furniture. Nope. I couldn't sell the couch for $20 and it's in good shape! The funny thing was that our neighbors saw we were having a sale and pulled out a few bikes, surf boards and a twin canopy bed. They easily made $400. But in our area people want things dirt cheap and so it's really hard to make money on the "small stuff". Oh well, the flip side is that you can get some great bargains when you go garage saleing!Mirissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117522010330676976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-12480308340334383332011-06-25T20:48:42.662-05:002011-06-25T20:48:42.662-05:00Be sure to mark how many children's pants, shi...Be sure to mark how many children's pants, shirts, coats, underclothes, toys, books, etc before donating.

Several other more "experienced" friends say it's always like that. I guess the die-hard "garage salers" like to shop that day. This spring I did one of all my daughters' things as she is now older and we know we are done. I was clothes crazy and had six 6' racks of clothes plus bins and bins of folded items, shoes, etc. I made about $1800! It was amazing. Adult clothing never seems to sell; I put out the maternity things and sold a few things but not much. This summer we are going to do a "household" sale and more of her items, hope it goes even a quarter as well as the spring one! It's nice to be able to donate the rest at the end...as you said, never let ANY of it back into your house. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-7076128796405023362011-06-14T09:17:06.203-05:002011-06-14T09:17:06.203-05:00I'm having a garage sale the end of this month...I'm having a garage sale the end of this month and will refer back to these tips.
