Here is some interesting reading to get you ready for StoreRight Self-Storage’s yard sale on March 9th at 8:00a.m… The tenants that signed up will be going through the storage unit this month and deciding what they want to sell. I think that Self-Storage yard sales are the best kind, the reason? These people took the time to pay to store their items so I believe the quality of stuff in a Self-Storage yard sale may be a bit higher. Those of you who are yard sale “lookie lou’s” know what I mean. StoreRight also works closely with the Blood Mobile and when we have events like this you will always have the opportunity to give blood and if you do StoreRight will buy you lunch from whatever vendor we have at the event. Blood in our area is in short supply especially O. It is StoreRight’s way of helping the community we love. Like StoreRight on facebook and stay tuned for more info about this event and many more to come in the future.
What is a Yard Sale? Theonlineyardsale.com
A yard sale, also known as a garage sale, rummage sale, tag sale, attic sale, moving sale, porch sale, barn sale or junk sale, is an event for the sale of used items by private individuals. Sellers are not required to obtain business licenses or collect sales tax however, there are several states that have introduced legislation to make income from a yard sale reportable. Typically, the items in a yard sale are unwanted items from the household with the home owners conducting the sale. The items are sometimes new, like-new, or just usable, and offered for sale because the owner does not want or need the item. Popular motivations for a garage sale are “spring cleaning” or the owners are moving to a new residence, to even getting some well-earned spending money. The seller displays their items to the passers-by or those responding to either signs, fliers, or newspaper ads. Sometimes local television stations will broadcast a sale on the local public channel. The sales venue is typically a garage, driveway, carport, front yard, porch, or occasionally, the interior of a house. Some vendors, known as ‘squatters’, will set up in a highly trafficked area, and not on their own property. Staples of garage sales include old clothing, books, toys, household knick-knacks, lawn and garden tools, sports equipment, and board games. Larger items like furniture and occasionally home appliances are also sold. Garage sales occur most frequently in suburban areas on good-weather weekends, and usually have designated hours for the sale. Buyers who arrive before the hours of the sale to review the items are known as “Early Birds;” they often are collectors, restorers or resellers. Such sales also attract people who are searching for bargains or for rare and unusual items. Bargaining, also known as haggling, on prices is routine, and items may or may not have price labels affixed. The origin of the modern day yard sale is not really known. For centuries, people have simply laid out a few items on a table or a blanket and bartered for goods and services in exchange for other items of like value or whatever currency that was appropriate for their location.
