HELP. I need your advice on this.

If the stuff is good, I'm sure they would buy. I've been to many yard sales and people sold alot of new things and I've seen people buy.

Well I would stop by for sure but I wouldnt say it was a yard sale call it a sample sale thats what they do out here and people will go to it i know I have before. Specially if its jewlery lol. Or if you want just put some stuff out you dont need and have a real yard sale and sell your jewlery too.

please, do not feel bad. it was a wise decision because what if it came thru and it did rain? consider it as a responsible call. going into business isn't as good as you have forecast it, it may either slump or sell, there are times. yes, why don't you do a yard sale kind of thing but do not call it a yard sale because people will only get pissed. or look at it this way, you may have overshoot your inventory but in the long run you have more items to sell, more income and a lot more rollback capital. in business, always look in the positive perspective of things because these things happen and it happens for a very good reason.

I really do not think it would do well in a garage sale,and i will tell you why...When people go to garage sales they are looking for real cheap stuff,new stuff does not go over to well to tell you the truth....YOU CAN SELL NEW STUFF AND OLD STUFF AT A FLEA MARKET and they will pay higher prices at a flea market....I am a seasoned garage sale goer for years and i have a pretty good idea what will sell....If you want to give it a try then by all means do,but do not expect too much....

I think it would work. As long as you had the sign say something else then "yard sale". I know there is this lady down the road from me that makes these really pretty wind chimes and other things that twirl. I see her periodically sitting out in her yard displaying them for sale. I don't know how well she does, as I have never stopped and talked to her. Have you thought about having an online store to sell the stuff? There are some free ones out there. I use one to sell beaded jewelry that my mom and I make.

Well you never know until you try, is what I always say. If you have an idea like that I would just give it a go, then you can see if it works. You will not lose anything by trying so that is not a problem. People will come and have a look and if they like what they see then they will buy!!

I might be disappointed if I stopped at a yard sale and it was all new jewelry. Maybe you could throw a few household items in you have laying around and don't want anymore. Or maybe you could just call it a jewelry sale. Or ask friends and neighbors if they have anything they want to sell. I would stop though and might even buy something if it was good stuff at a low price. I pack my vehicle the day before I go to the market then go and sleep there. I set up my tables and unload everything in tubs under the tables then cover with plastic if I think it might rain. If I pretty much know it's not going to rain I sometimes set everything up and cover it with plastic to keep the night dampness off. That way my truck is empty to sleep in. It's like free camping, I used to take my kids and pets even.

I followed signs to a "New Jewelry Sale" once, and so did a number of other ladies - you might try that instead of "yard sale"

There is no right or wrong way to do business. Business is about putting effort and time to sell your products. You may want to publicize your location of business widely by giving out flyers to the neighbor cities or residents to attract their attention to your yard. On the day of operation, you may want to have loud music to grab everybody's attention much like a party. In addition, if possible, give discounts for buyers and ask them to spread the word for you. In addition, if people doesn't come to your yard then it must be due to luck else there should be customers. However, you will need to act fast when the sky starts to look gloomy. You will either need to relocate your customer to another location or close the operation until the rain stops. I truly believe that people will come to your yard and look at what do you have, if they are fascinated and attracted to your jewelery, they will buy it.

They might well do sweetheart but I would just say to make sure that there aren't any laws requiring you have a license or anything first - I know that here in the Uk you have to have a license to trade in the street! xxx

I personally don't think so. When people go to yard sell, they will put this in mind that all the things that are sold there are going to rock bottom price.

The best thing i can tell you is to do what works best for you. Like the quote says, one mans junk is another mans treasure. I know how u feel when you are working for a profit and then you have to sit out a day and do nothing, but think about the money that u would have made. And personally i believe that if you ar ehaving what you would call a yard sale with all NEW things. You sal should be a blow off. Good Luck with it!

Of course it could work. Usually people love to come to the yard sale. You just put a marker like "Brand New" in you jewelry booth and explain to people who asked its not used goods.Told them cause its a special ocassion, you gave the jewelry like maybe 10% off of your usual price at flea market. (if you can afford it) As long as you had interesting jewelry, people might bough your goods, specially the ladies.
