Checklist for a garage sale



1. Garage (hence the name)
2. Price tags (bought at local store)
3. Schedule (you have to plan these events a little in advance)
4. Stuff (or junk, whichever you prefer)
5. Family/Friends (this makes the sales day more exciting)
6. Sunny Day or Mildly cloudy day (this is left to chance)
7. Posters/ Signs (Only if you want people to come)
8. Cheerful Disposition (optional but a nice idea)
9. The ability to let go (This comes with practice)
10. Organization (also optional but a little more efficient)

Inspiration for this prompt is due to the fact that my family is having a garage sale, but we decided to wait until next weekend because
a) we have no price tags
b)we have no posters
c)we haven't decided where to put everything

Suggestions and Advice are appreciated!

  1. Hey, we have posters. They are in the shed. Junk and stuff we got. We can price as we go. Tape and a piece of paper will do for price tags. We don't want to spend money on tags. Seeing the garage cleaned out due to the garage sale will keep me in a good mood. I can park my car in the garage again. We can listen for the neighborhood donkeys to see if it will rain. Ha ha.

  2. Fair enough he he. This was mostly a satire of a serious Garage Sale checklist. I guess I went too far?
