CONSIDER THE TIMING
Garage sale season kicks into high gear in spring and we recommend holding your sale on the first nice spring weekend. A sale early in the season attracts all those garage sale junkies who are itching to buy. Summer months can also be good, but beware of the heat. Most single-family garage sales can get away with a one-day event, usually on a Saturday, lasting anywhere from three to six hours. A multi-family sale will benefit from longer hours or a second day.
