Here’s a sneak peak of the filled in version…

Items for sale – saving costs by hosting a joint garage sale? Use this sheet to keep track of all items for sale, who their owner is, the asking price, sale price and notes e.g. pickup times if a customer is collecting furniture at a later date. You could pre-enter the items you have for sale, or jot down each item as it sells. Another idea would be to use one sheet per table or box e.g. clothing on one page, print another page for books ect.

Garage Sale To Do List

Garage Sale Ad

Garage Sale Flyer (the blue boxes are editable so you can type in your own details)

Donations Tracker – for those unsold items

And some note paper which is always handy! I intend to use mine for planning the layout for my garage sale

The garage sale planner is available in 7 different colours! Here are the direct links to each color:

• Grey
• Black
• Light blue
• Dark Blue
• Pink
• Purple
• Green

Some of my tips for hosting a garage sale

• Set up early (at least an hour before you think you need to, especially if you have a lot of stuff)
• Print the flyers onto bright coloured paper to attract attention. Of course black and white still stands out too
• Allocate boxes with prices e.g. $1 and put all items for that price point in the box. When all items are sorted, then add the price stickers. Having items sorted by price into separate boxes or on separate tables and also with a price makes it so much easier when it comes time for your customer to pay and if you can’t remember what box they took the item from
• Price stuff so it’s easy to make change e.g. in 10c or 50c denominations
• Make it easy for shoppers to test electronics by having an extension cord handy. You may also want to keep some batteries on hand
• Mark down items throughout the day
• Some stuff you just know no one is going to buy e.g. broken toys. I put these on a separate table and mark them as free
• Put big ticket items like furniture at the end of the driveway to draw in shoppers
• Never leave the money box unattended – wear a bum bag… not attractive but at least you’ll know where the money is at all times)

Here is the link to the free printable price stickers

They coordinate with the garage sale planner colour options because I have a bit of OCD when it comes to stuff needing to be color coordinated!

There are 7 different colors.  You could color code e.g. use only purple stickers for $2 items, blue stickers for 50c items etc.

To use, print into full sheet label paper and cut. I recommend using a paper trimmer. Or watching your favourite TV show if you are cutting them by hand!
