Your
Hidden Money!
How to have your own profitable Yard, Garage, block or estate sale.
Dick Wells is a yard sale junkie. Having haunted garage sales, yard sales, estate sales and more, he has seen the good, the bad, and everything in between in the "sale" genre. Knowing of his interest, many people asked him for advice on the procedures of having a sale. This step-by-step guide book on how to organize a garage or yard sale is a natural outgrowth of those verbal presentations.
Mr. Wells has spent more weekends than he can remember at various yard sales and garage sales in all parts of the country. He admits to being an habitual shopper, always on the lookout for a good bargain. He knows the "business," the ins and outs of successful sales, whether they're in a garage or on the front lawn of a residential home or take up someone's driveway; and he knows why many fail.
In "Your Hidden Money! How to Have Your Own Profitable Yard, Garage, Block or Estate Sale," Dick advises would-be sale organizers on the how-to of a successful endeavor, from preparation on through to the sale itself—a review of do's and don'ts.
"After all," comments Mr. Wells, "yard sales and garage sales contribute to an environmental cause. Americans are encouraged to recycle, and buying used
"It's a shame to throw into the trash perfectly
usable and functional items. Besides, buying used articles can result in saving a lot of money for the buyers, and the seller should be rewarded with a net profit."
Dick says the yard sale has become as American as a burger and fries; he not only tells how to have one (not how to have a burger and fries; how to have your own sale), but ways to do it successfully, all the way to the bank.
Frequenting yard sales over the years has not only offered Dick the opportunity to acquire the knowledge he shares with you now, and to acquire any number of great items at reasonable cost, but also as a way to relieve the stress of his everyday work—writing about automobiles and hot-rodding as the first editor of National Dragster, feature editor of Hot Rod, and executive editor of Motor Trend in the '60s and '70s, serving five years as executive director of SEMA, the Speciality Equipment Market Association, and retiring recently from his long-held position as Vice President of Corporate Projects, SEMA.
Dick took a break from his automotive involvements to write this fact-filled book about his avocation, then established his own consulting and writing service which has him hard at work authoring a history book, scripting a TV show, and again in need of some time off. Where did you say that yard sale is?
