Yard Sale Tips from a Niagara Moving Company

Bob the Mover: Niagara Moving Company

Moving is difficult to say the least. While change is exciting and often brings new challenges. There are a lot of preparations to be made and actions to complete. Don’t let it bring you down—moving can be simple if you let it. Starting early will give you an advantage in the process. Deciding what to keep or sell is a big one. As an experienced Niagara moving company, we’ve got a few tips for you to help streamline this process and help set you up with a yard or garage sale.

1. What to Keep/What to Sell?

The easiest way to make this choice is to give yourself enough time to do it. Getting started early will help lower your move cost if going with professional Niagara movers, as well as give you less things to pack. There are a few ways to help choose what to keep and what not to keep. Ask yourself to following questions: Will I need it or want it again? Will it be useful to someone else that I know? Is it easy to replace? If you can decisively answer yes to these questions, it may be an item worth selling.

2. Get the Items Ready

After choosing what to sell the items must be made ready. Try placing them neatly and making sure they’re clean before trying to sell them. Categorizing the items can also help potential “customers” find what they’re looking for. Make sure not to overprice items.

3. Tell People

Advertisement is key. How else can sales happen? If nobody knows about your yard sale, that’s how many people will come. Try advertising on Facebook, your newspaper, Craigslist, or tape advertisements around the neighbourhood. Make sure it includes the date, time, and location of your sale.

4. Open Up Shop

Though it isn’t a professional store, try keeping a professional attitude when making sales. Make sure you’ve got enough help to take care of the sale. Be prepared with change, a calculator, and the ability to sell and negotiate on all items. Being friendly will make many deals happen.

5. Relax

After your yard sale, there may be items left—don’t panic. You need to decide what to do with the things leftover. Do you want to pay your Niagara movers to move them? Do you want to send them to the dump? Do you want to donate what you have? There are many organizations which help the less fortunate that could use some of your items. Maybe your neighbour could use something you may not need at your new place. If not—Niagara movers are ready to move anything left.

If you do end up having a yard sale to help move out some of your unwanted things, make sure to follow these tips. Once your sale is done you can call a Niagara moving company and continue in your moving process.

Bob the Mover was an excellent moving company to work with. They were courteous, prompt and there were no hidden fees or surprises.

Incredible moving company. Definitely top shelf. You can't really ask for any better. These guys were super professional, very friendly, quick, arrived right on time and took care of all my stuff, no extra scratches 😉 We had some interesting conversations along the way about similar interests and had fun while still getting the job done in a quick and timely fashion. This guy hires good men, the screening process must be rigorous. If you want your stuff handled with care and consideration, call Bob the Movers! You won't regret it!

November 19th, 2022 - the day of my move from my home in Niagara Falls to my new home in Thorold, we found ourselves in a foot of snow with more on the way, high winds and extreme cold!! The four young men arrived on time and were ready for the hard work of loading and carefully taking my furniture onto their truck. (Using moving blankets and strapping, mindful of not damaging the flooring and walls and my furniture) Arrived at my new address in a timely manner and again taking care moving all furniture and setting up beds and other furniture requiring set up! One piece, a large leather couch required 2 men to carefully maneuver through a narrow doorway at the bottom of the stairs into the family room needing at least a half hour of time without damage to walls, ceiling, doorway, flooring or furniture! Remarkable young men. I’d highly recommend “Bob The Mover” for your next move!
