My Biggest Garage Sale Mistake EVER
I had always heard the saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” so I decided to host a garage sale to declutter my home and make some extra cash. Little did I know that my lack of preparation would lead to my biggest garage sale mistake ever.
I spent weeks going through all of my belongings, deciding what to sell and what to keep. I was confident that I had a wide variety of items that would appeal to a range of customers. I priced everything according to what I thought was fair and spent the night before the sale setting everything up in my driveway.
The morning of the sale, I eagerly awaited the arrival of the first customers. However, as the day went on, I realized that I had made a crucial mistake. I had not advertised my garage sale in any way. I had completely underestimated the power of advertising and the importance of getting the word out about my sale.
As a result, only a few people stopped by, and I didn’t make nearly as much money as I had hoped. I was left feeling disappointed and frustrated by my lack of foresight.
Looking back on this experience, I learned a valuable lesson about the importance of advertising and promotion when it comes to hosting a successful garage sale. I realized that simply setting up some tables in my driveway was not enough to attract customers. I should have taken the time to create flyers, post on social media, and put up signs around the neighborhood to draw attention to my sale.
Since then, I have made sure to properly promote and advertise any future garage sales I have hosted. I have found that by spreading the word and getting the community involved, I have been able to attract a larger number of customers and make more sales.
Additionally, I have also learned to carefully plan and organize my garage sales, making sure to price items competitively and display them in an appealing way. These small changes have made a big difference in the success of my sales.
While my biggest garage sale mistake was a disappointing experience at the time, it ultimately taught me important lessons that have helped me become a more successful garage sale host in the long run. I now approach each sale with a plan, taking the time to advertise and promote in advance, and have seen a significant improvement in the turnout and sales. I may have made a big mistake, but I have turned it into a valuable learning experience.

You make a lot of mistakes. Not surprised.
Saw that you stopped in the live today! THANK YOU
ive been watching you for awhile now like atleast 2 years HAD TO HIT THE BIG RED
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Don’t beat yourself up for that. It’s never a mistake to NOT buy something. You never had it in the first place. Had you bought and broke it, or didn’t comp it and it’s a dud, those are mistakes. You lost money. In this case you lost zero dollars.
Ive made that mistake before….now im sure to buy anything that strikes my fancy lol
Dustin the 90's boxed and maybe sealed Santa Clauss is pleasure man! great find once again!Every time i see you finding these 90's Christmas ornaments i go to nostalgia mood!Keep up the hunting for more 90s unique items my friend..!
A week ago, I picked up an older Dept 56 Chapel that had good comps, saw it while I was next in line at a thrift store. Got home only to discover it didn’t have the lights, bride and groom an bath chapel crosses were broken off. Won’t do that again. You’re not alone.
yikes, you left that Canon super 8 as well, depending on working condition and model, easy $150-$300, takes AA's, lololol
I think we all have that regret for passing on something. I guess it’s part of the job! Thanks for the video with a “ learning experience “!
Don’t beat yourself up Dustin, you made up for the mistake on just the Bryers, I think. You and Jess both did well. ❤
Jessica, @ 13:23, on your left, are what looks to be 3 maybe just 2, Keith Haring pictures. I died a little inside when you walked right by. I was yelling at the screen "No go back!!" LOL. His stuff can go for good money. Love your videos! 🙂
I still don't get how at your sales have awesome stuff and it's almost always empty with like couple people dribbling in here and there. Those types of sales are crazy crowded here where you can't move lol. You live in a great area to find stuff and not have to go too crazy in the process.
…Is more horrible things in life, dear. Will be better❤!
Thank you for posting so many videos lately, my mother passed away today peacefully and watching this video helps to keep my mind off it. I know you can relate to the pain of losing a parent ❤ happy holidays everbody!
Evil within is such a good game 1 and 2
Great video!!!
13:25 holy sht keith haring. real ones worth thousands! Jking I found same one on ebay for $100 listed not sold. It says keith haring collection on it.
You still made out quite well! The Breyer horses were amazing…..
Was that a Tissot watch you picked up and laid back down??
I feel your pain. I had a chance to pick up a Holiday Barbie, new. Couldn't get service to look it up. It was selling for 100,they only wanted 5 for it. Not quit what you had,but 5 into 100,good profit. Live and learn
Hate you missed out but you all are very knowledgeable. Wondering if the Pizza Hut frisbee would have been a good pickup? Looked vintage? Idk.
Hey Oh!!
Dustin what's q4 mean
They musta posted had video games that explains why u were there in the dark
U made an even bigger mistake check the video at 13.25 the pictures in the frame are worth a lot more than 400
You know what, it happens. We've all done it. Karma will pay you back. You'll get yours next time. Great video and that was really a great sale. Lots of good stuff there.
I wish I could sell my 360 controllers for $26! I've had two up for $22 each for 6 months
