Garage Sale Day Checklist
Run a smooth, profitable sale with clear signs, simple prices, and fast checkout. Pre-sort, bundle, and donate leftovers same day.
Supplies

- Price dots or painter’s tape + marker, pre-made signs
- Change box with small bills/coins; mobile payment app (optional)
- Bags/boxes for buyers, extension cord to test items

Quick Rules
Group like items; keep aisles clear. Use simple price bands and bundle deals. Keep a “hold” zone by checkout and tag big items SOLD with a name/phone.
