Hi Betsy...I really enjoy reading your blog and am learning alot from you. I've recently started to go to garage sales to purchase items for resale. I was wondering if you could give any advice on the top things to look for. Are there items that seem to always be at a garage sale that the owner doesn't realize it's resale value that I should particularly look out for? Any other tips you'd like to offer? Thanks!

Other authors worth some money: Eric Carle, Stephen Cosgrove, Sandra Boynton- basically any well known children's book author that someone would search for.
Some people sell mixed lots, meaning they just dump a whole bunch of kids books in a lot and sell it. I don't think this is very effective.
In my experience I have had the best luck with selling lots of the same series or author. You can also group them by interest or gender. My . . . (read post) |
