Your Yard Sale Cheat Sheet

Clear the clutter, draw a crowd, and pocket some cash. Here is everything you need to pull off a great sale right here in Fort McMurray.

Step 1 How to have a sell-out yard sale

  • Open early on a Saturday, around 8 in the morning.
  • Sticker a price on every single item.
  • Go cheap. Think quarters, loonies, and toonies.
  • Bring coins and small bills for making change.
  • Use tables so folks can shop at a comfy height.
  • Wipe things down so they look fresh and ready.
  • Park your best stuff by the road to pull cars in.
  • Stash old bags for the big armfuls people grab.
  • Bundle deals like "fill a bag for two bucks."
  • Smile and chat. A friendly seller sells loads more.

Step 2 How to get the word out

Street signs done right

  • Write in thick bold letters big enough to read from 20 feet away.
  • Keep it short. Pop on four things only: date, time, address, and "Multi Family" if a few homes are joining in.
  • Draw a big fat arrow pointing the way.
  • Plant signs near stop lights and busy corners where cars sit still and have time to read.
  • Set them out the night before or early that morning, then pull every one back down when you wrap up.
