Garage sales often do not sell all their items. To reach a larger audience, one can consider listing on . Many people who have garage sales, do not have a computer, or if they do have a computer, are not comfortable enough with it to have the confidence they need to list items on . This is where your services come in.

You approach them, and hand them your card. You will offer them a service of listing their item on for them. Explain that they will be responsible for the listing fee and the final value fee, and that you will deduct a small fee for listing it, since you have a computer and a digital camera. I’ve seen people list an item for another person for one dollar. A price comparison: listing an ad for a garage sale sometimes costs up to ten dollars, they sit there all day, and sometimes do not sell anything. Perhaps your “dollar per item” would be a bargain. (Especially if you do sell it) Remind them that shipping costs are absorbed by the buyer. Char Milbrett, Inkwell Newswatch, Top 10 Resources Columnist.
