Holding A Successful Garage Sale To Raise Awareness Funds
There is an art to holding a successful garage sale and making LOTS of money. Any money you spend, you always reimburse yourself first out of the sale proceeds!!!!
Four weeks before your sale, email all of your friends, co-workers, and family members. Tell them you are having a garage sale where 100% of the proceeds will be donated to breast cancer. Also, ask if anyone would like to volunteer their time to help you to call you. In your email give suggestions on items:
Furniture (Let them know if they have furniture to call you. You can rent a U-Haul truck for $30. If anyone calls, you can then schedule to pick up everyone’s furniture on the same day.)
Clothes (men, women, children) – ASK for hangers
Purses, briefcases, luggage
Old CDs, cameras, electronics, computer equipment, lamps
Kitchen stuff, small appliances, mugs, glasses, plates, bakeware
Cosmetics (people love to buy those miniature samples you get as free gifts at the cosmetic counters), hair dryers, hot rollers
Baked Goods – If they don’t have any items suggest they make a batch of cookies or brownies. You can sell them for $1 each.
Make a flyer for all of your neighbors telling them about the sale and to contact you if they have anything to donate. If you have time, deliver the fliers several blocks around your house.
If you get so much merchandise that you don’t think you can hold it at your house look at renting a hall or other facility to hold the sale at.
Place ads in your local paper 1 week before the sale. You also want to get some signs. You can buy blank signs at the Home Depot or Lowes. Get pink paint and paint pink ribbons with the words: All proceeds donated to Breast Cancer Awareness along with YOUR ADDRESS with the date of the garage sale.
If you have a dollar store in your area, you can go in and get helium filled pink balloons to tie to the signs. You could also ask a store to donate the balloons for you.
Also, be sure to list your sale on Craigslist. It is free and more and more people are using it.
The weekend or day before your sale, you will sort through all of the merchandise that was donated. You want to rebox the merchandise and then put it back in the garage so the day of the sale you pull things out and they are sorted and ready to go.
Clothes – Sort men’s from women’s from children. The art to moving clothing is to have it sorted and well displayed. If possible you want to hang as many clothes on hangers as possible. Nobody likes going through piles of messy clothes. If you have a fence or 2 trees you want to get a clothesline and tie the clothesline to your fence or trees. You will hang all the clothes up. You will hang all the men’s stuff together, then women’s, then children’s. Any items that can’t be hung should be neatly folded and displayed.
For displaying you can put a sheet on the ground and group the clothes in piles. (all t-shirts together, all shorts together etc.)
Books – You want to get boxes and put all the books in boxes so the book spines are facing upward so you can read the titles. This will make it easy for people to see what the book is and it makes it easy to transport the books.
Misc Merchandise – You want to go through all of the boxes you receive and group like items together. This makes a peasant shopping experience because if people are looking for specific stuff they can easily find it.
Put all breakables together
Put all the kitchen stuff together
Put all the kids stuff together
All sporting good stuff together.
If you don’t have tables you can:
spread a sheet out on the ground and put items on sheets
turn over boxes and they become make shift tables
if you do have a table be sure to utilize not only the top but also underneath it. You can make a tiered system where you have the table top, then boxes turned over under the table and then merchandise layed in front of the boxes. You just created a 3 tier display.
Baked Goods – ALWAYS have baked goods on hand. If you are not a baker than buy some fresh baked cookies/brownies/cakes at Sam’s Club or the supermarket. Put them into zip lock bags and sell them. What I found is if people don’t find anything at the sale to buy they will buy a baked item from you.
Drinks – Also sell drinks. Coffee (for the am), bottled water, soda.
Donation Jar – Make a sign saying donations.
Merchandise – Get some other breast cancer merchandise to sell. Get some silicone bracelets or other items.
Banner – Get a banner or other signs to put up around your yard.
Breast Cancer Shirt – Make sure everyone who is working the sale is wearing a pink shirt. This makes it easy for the people attending your sale to find the actual people working it. If they don’t have a pink shirt, buy some pink baseball hats for them to wear.
Money – Make sure you have enough 1’s, 5’s, 10’s and quarters. I do not get anything smaller than a quarter. I recommend at least $100. Do not take checks unless you know the person. We learned the hard way when we sold 2 beautiful wing back chairs for $100 to this woman and the check bounced!!! If someone asks tell them where the closest ATM is for them to get money.
Pricing Items – We do not recommend pricing any items. What we do is say all proceeds are being donated to breast cancer we are asking for a donation. If we don’t think it is a large enough donation we will let you know. We do this because we found that since people knew it was going to breast cancer they would give us more money. I would in my mind come up with a dollar figure that I thought was good for the item. If the people don’t seem to know how much to suggest than you suggest a price.
If people don’t offer enough money – You say: I am sorry but people donated this merchandise knowing the proceeds were going to breast cancer. We don’t want to give their stuff away. How about X – then you tell them a dollar amount.
If it is a larger piece item you can always say we know we can get X for it on Ebay so we will just wait and post it on there. We really don’t want to give it away.

You may be wondering why baseball caps are sought after by people. You might have known someone who owns more than twenty hats of different designs and colors. The purpose of collecting this kind of stuff differs from one person to another. Basically, baseball caps are for protection of the eyes from the rays of the sun while undergoing some outdoor activities.
Baseball caps are now taking part in most people’s fashion. Some are wearing them not for fashion but as part their uniforms just like some of the restaurant crews, construction workers and other non office workers do. Military men are also wearing baseball hats to signify their ranks and as part of their uniforms too. This cap is also utilized as an advertising tool where company’s logo and trademark are printed in front of the hat.
As one of the fashion accessories, baseball caps are in varied styles and designs to be able to fit in the fashion statement of the fashion originator. As you can observe, apparel stores online and offline are offering wide arrays of baseball caps with different colors, prints and designs. These might be due to the demand of the fashionable individuals to have their caps in unique styles.
The diverse kinds of baseball hats have designs and colors suited to different types of personalities. Teens are usually seen wearing printed and multicolored hats with unique designs. There are also individuals who prefer hats with plain colors and with logos of the manufacturing brand or the name of their favorite football team.
Some avid fans of baseball players and teams want their baseball caps to appear worn out as way of manifesting loyalty to their beloved teams. Their caps are worn out due to constant use whenever the team is on play. Thus, to have their cap look used up, they wash it with harsh detergents or stain removers so the colors will fade.
Another thing for fashion sake about baseball cap is the way it is worn. Originally, the brim should be in front since it serves as eye’s protection against the rays of the sun. However, rappers and stage actors are wearing hats with brims in the side or at the back. They sometimes have the brims pressed upwards too for a newer look.
Wearing baseball caps is not only limited to outdoor casual and sports activities. Even at night where there is no sun, this kind of cap is worn as part of ones get up. Baseball caps are casually used to be able to deviate the image of being too formal in your business attires. Some do use it to hide some discrepancies in their head like unpleasing haircuts and baldness.
Movie characters who are using baseball caps portray a certain personality in the story. Usually, when a teenager is using a cap, viewers will associate the character as gang member, an outgoing or rebellious teen or a rapper or singer wannabe. When a prominent figure in the story wears it, he possibly goes to a group of ordinary community people and he is projecting a humble and simple persona.
