So You Wanna Have A Tag Sale?

It's been a long time since I've last blogged and it's not that I haven't had anything to write, it's just I haven't taken the time.

One item at the top of my Pet Peeve list are Tag Sales. My lovely wife and I go to many tag sales during the season which can last from April to November. I think we get some pretty good deals at these sales and I know it is a good way to get rid of items you no longer want to keep.

But......................Here's the Pet Peeve................Don't count on funding your retirement on these tag sales. These are designed to get rid of items not make a fortune. Too often we go to Tag sales that have items that are up to 50% of the original cost, especially if they are new.

Now if you want to dispose of the item and make a little money, I emphasize the word little don't charge more than 10% of the cost, no more, even less if possible. You will see your merchandise move. Just make sure the items you sell are usable.

I go to Tag sales that I call Junk Sales cause that what they have, anything from stained clothing to rusty tools to electronic items that don't work. You get the idea.

Nuff said, I'm sure I've written about this before and I'm sure I'll write about it again.
