I say ditch the yard sale and either consign your items or donate ! “Yard sales are only good if you set the date when you decide to clean out,” says Rick. If you are looking to “turn your discards into dollars” try a local consignment shop. You will be amazed at how much fun it is and you will receive an additional 10% on your items sold if you decide to shop! Or you can cash out (for a little less) and have some mad money! Either way, most consignment shops will also donate any items they do not take and provide you with a tax receipt. It is a win-win situation for everyone!
Some of you may not be aware that I offer this service to my clients. I will set up and manage their consignment accounts and in a lot of cases, their consignments pay for my services. I also offer this service on the side to those not using my services for an additional fee. I can set up and coordinate transportation of larger furniture as well as accessory items, clothes, shoes and jewelry! Take another look at those items that are taking up space and decide if you are ready to meet your organizing needs and make some money…and give me a call!
Happy Consigning! Bridges
