How To Organize it
Organizing a garage sale is not a difficult task. You just need to pick a sunny day. Obviously, you need the weather on your side. Call all your friends, neighbours and relatives and invite them, or at least those that might be interested. You can create an event on Facebook, give out flyers, or post a note in a local building or newspaper. Prepare snacks and drinks. When you treat people, they will feel more than just buyers. You can tell them the stories behind the objects you are selling and thus increase your chances of selling. Be prepared to bargain. Bargain could be great fun, if you do it right. If the area you live in is diverse, you should keep in mind, some people from different cultures find bargain integral to the purchase.

Make sure it could also accommodate more people and it is fairly easy for them to turn around.

I hope that sounds like fun to you. At the end, I would advise you to donate your earnings to charity, if you don’t need cash that much. After all, these are things you have used and benefited from, and they have paid for themselves. Think about all the people who dream of having them, but can’t afford to.
