Want to have a big, group garage sale?

Postby funmom on Wed Jan 31, 2007 2:50 pm

I need to sell so much stuff! We're moving in a few months, as well as I have two storage rooms full of child stuff I need to be rid of as I need the storage space. I am no good with cameras so don't know how to take pics, make albums, and post "for sale" things like many of you do. We live in a townhouse that's not easily accessible or visible to have a garage sale. But I need my stuff gone!

Anyone else have some things they want to sell? We could maybe get a bunch of us together, pick which neighbourhood/ driveway to host it in, and all get together and have a garage sale? Would get more traffic going thru as well if it were a number of us?
Just a thought.
Let me know if anyone's up for this! :D

Ohhh, this sound like a great idea! No one let me near your tables though as I don't need to bring more home :lol:

I'm game as long as it's not to far from us!

I live on Kelly Rd, by the Westshore mall. I'll double check with my other half, but if we need a place to have it my place is an option. Not too sure if it's too far out of the way though, but just thought I'd put it out there! :D

Yay I'm glad a few of you are up for this!
I live on Carey, and as I said my place is no good as it's not easily visible or accessable, so it would have to be somewhere else. I'm up for any place, as I can just throw all my stuff in the back of our truck.
Where abouts are you all thinking would be best?

Perfect!
So where do we want to have this?
And when?
(Personally I was thinking next weekend? Long as that works for everyone else.)
Let me know, I'm easy :D

Saturdays work for me as I work Sundays. My place is open as far as having it somewhere, I have a nice long driveway, plenty of space in the front and a good sized backyard depending on how many people want to go in on this! :D

I'm up for Saturdays as well. Tyler's mom, do you get a fair bit of traffic on your street?

Who else would like to come on over have a garage sale with us? The more the merrier :D

Kelly road runs right across the Veterans Memorial and joins up to Sooke rd at the other end, so I think we'd be able to get quite a bit of traffic if we put signs on both ends!
Could we possibly have it maybe the weekend after this upcoming one? We are in the final crunch of getting my fiancees place ready for sale as far as fix ups so I don't know if we'll have time to get everything ready for a week from now for the sale....

I'm so in....

Are you thinking the 10th or the 17th, if it's the 17th that is the same day as the twin and triplets sale at Pearks and I think we may loss a lot of buyers as they would probably go there???? Otherwise the 24th looks good too?
