SEAL THAT DEAL - GARAGE SALE TIPS - By Bruce Littlefield

SEAL THAT DEAL - Treasure to be found!!!

How do you get a good deal at a garage sale? How do you get those wicker chairs for the front porch? And for a good price? Bruce Littlefield shares a few pointers:

1. Build a relationship with the seller.
2. Make a reasonable offer.
3. Gather your items before asking for a group price.
4. Keep your poker face on.
5. Decide what you can live without.
6. Ask for the seller's best price.
7. Negotiate a compromise.
8. Either pay the agreed-on price, dump the less-desired items or be prepared to walk away.

Where to look:
