NBR (well, it is a little bit!) - Garage Sale Advertising?

edited September 2014 in February 2015 Moms
We're clearing out our 3rd bedroom for baby (our "garage" since we don't actually have one), and we are going to have a garage sale at my in-laws. I've never had one before, and my parents haven't had one since the days of advertising it in the classifieds/penny saver! 

How do I do this now-a-days? Do I put it on craigslist ( :( - I'm scared of craigslist!)? Or do I just put signs up the morning of???

    I would post on the garage sale section of craigslist. I would also see if your local paper has free online classifieds. I know i used to look on both sources when looking for garage sales with specific items.

    Craigslist and put signs up the week before in the area. You need to give a specific address and start time or else you'll have people showing up at 6!

    As much as advertising in the newspaper seems dated, it's still the number one way to advertise for garage sales. It might cost around $20, that's what I've paid in the past, but it's worth it. Also on Craigslist and Facebook. Plus lots of signs around the neighborhood:)

    There's an online yard sale community called bookoo. If you go to lejueneyardsales.com you can navigate up to a select your city page and see if there's one near you. It's like Craigslist but no one has been murdered or raped using it (as far as I know).

    Eta: theta and there's are not the same word. I had to fix that.
