How to negotiate a garage sale? ›

Sellers are ready to part with their things, so it's perfectly acceptable to haggle on pricing, especially if you are interested in a high-dollar item or have a grouping of things. Either ask the seller if they can lower the price or feel free to make an offer. However, don't suggest too low a price.

Arrange similar items together at the sale. Use signage to label areas of your garage sale. Merchandise items as they would be at a store. If you are having a block sale, color code all your belongings so you know what's yours.

Similar to eBay and Craigslist, you can sell practically anything on Facebook Marketplace.
