idea: go
I have a lot of stuff. That’s kind of an understatement, as I don’t only have a lot of stuff but I have lots of KINDS of stuff. I don’t just have small toys, I have rooms full of them. I don’t just have a jewellery collection, I have more than I could possibly wear in a lifetime of fancy occasions. I don’t need all this stuff – but perhaps some other people might like some of my stuff.
I’m mulling the idea of having some sort of garage sale for jewellery and accessories. I have a fairly massive collection of gorgeous stuff that doesn’t get worn as often as it should, and I’m sure someone could give them a good home. This could even be a group thing – I’m sure I have friends with thing they don’t need. Thing is, I don’t have the first clue on how to have a garage sale. I don’t actually have a garage, I don’t know what stuff should cost, I don’t know how to advertise .. I’m pretty useless here. Ideally, I’d like to set up a market-style sale in which people don’t sell crafts but high-end stuff – more than a flea market, less than an estate sale. Do these things exist? Would there be any interest in either buying my stuff or selling your own? Doing it online is just a massive hassle, so it’d be a local thing. Help! how do I make this go?
