Discovery
of Garage Sale Secret
One
Memorial Day weekend we were having a combined sale with a
neighbor. Crowds of
people swarmed around our tables grabbing
everything in sight. I never experienced
such buying frenzy at a garage sale.
Then, just by coincidence, we did something a
littl
e bit differently. In fact, what we
did was the kiss of death to our great sale! This is
something anyone could do at a sale and not even realize that
they are doing it! And if you make this mistake, your
sale will flop!
Our buying
frenzy stopped like someone had pulled a
switch. People no longer lingered at our
tables. People glanced at our goods and kept on
walking as if avoiding the plague! What the heck
happened, we asked ourselves. We did something
that was a total turn off to the people, but we were
not aware of what it could be.
Eureka! A Great
Discovery!
What
were we doing wrong? When we started
the garage sale, we were busy talking to each other sharing
family news, checking out the local newspapers, and
generally letting people scan our tables without much
attention or fanfare from us. These buyers lingered and
scooped things up by the arm full.
Then, as
we ran out of things to chat about, we started paying more
attention to the people checking out our tables.
In fact, we moved our four chairs right up to the
edge of the tables and became avid people
watchers. This was the kiss of
death! Now picture four hawks sitting in a tree
staring down at a group of mice in the grass. How
would the mice react to such scrutiny?
You guessed it! The mice would feel
very uncomfortable and disappear real fast...just like all
our customers!
Lesson Learned: Give
garage sale buyers space! Don't eyeball them
and follow them around like they are bank robbers.
Staring them down like the hawks in the tree only makes them
feel uncomfortable. Don't smother them with
attention.
TIP: Give people space and they will linger at your tables
and buy! This tip is worth gold!
Take your profits to the next level
by expanding your selling on
Ebay. It's easy, fun, and profitable.
