2007-01-13 What You Need To Know For A Good Sale: Sure the book is pretty slim, but I've been to many garage sale where the seller didn't have a clue. This book tells you what you need to know about pricing your stuff and how to display it to catch the buyer's attention. He warns you about early birds, theft, and people who wander into your house.
Putting on a yard sale is hard work, so don't make it a wasted effort by doing it poorly.

2005-08-21 A must-have for garage sale sellers and shoppers!: This book makes the sometimes intimidating task of holding a garage sale seem not only manageable, but fun. I especially like John's stories of the treasures he has found, and his tips for encouraging customers to stop at his sales.

2005-06-10 The BEST Garage Sale Book ever!: This is an incredible book for sellers and buyers as well! Just one of his tips has earned me four times the price of this book. This is the perfect book for Ebayers or bargain shoppers--or those who just want to declutter or make a few extra bucks.

2006-06-26 Garage Sale Fever........review: If you want to waste your money, buy this. Even if you've never had a garage sale before, like me, this tells you absolutely nothing you don't already know. Such as: "Put prices on everything". Lots of obvious advice, mostly boring. Nowhere in this book does it earn the description of "HOT Ideas".
There is one person who benefits from this book - the author, and his profits - from this and other little books he has written. Check out the reviews more than I did when I bought this, and buy something worthwhile.
