About the Author
Sally Rofe is a bargain hunter at heart. She saved lots on toys and equipment for her young family by visiting such sales. She also found that running garage sales of her own, including successful street sales, were a good way of getting cash from unused items.
Sally quickly learned that planning makes all the difference in what cash you have at the end of a day. It is not just a matter of putting out the items and a few signs, and waiting for the buyers to come.
Sally has set down what she has learned, plus the accumulated knowledge of others, in a book that tells you how to run a sale. Her book gives the tricks that are the key to holding a successful sale, and which are equally the key to finding bargains at other people's sales.
