Going to the yard sale and want to get the best deals you can? Here are 6 tips to finding yard sale gems from Fox Business

1)  Scout Out All the Neighborhoods: Don't neglect a house or area because it looks old or worn down

2)  Keep a List: Think of things you may be looking for before you leave your house that morning

3)  Arrive Early, Come Late: You will get the best selection early but by the end the seller just wants the items gone and will give you a better deal

4)  Research Brands and Value: You might just get the deal of the century

5) Road Test Anything With Working Parts: Make sure the item works before you buy it because you cannot return it

6)  Haggle Over the Price: You can definitely try and negotiate but don't be insulting.


Community wide events like this are what make our area great. Don't you want to live in an area with a wide variety of resources and activities to come together with?

Contact Dustin Kennedy & Associates at 864-337-4375 or here to learn about buying a home in this area and then you can find something for your new house at the yard sale on Saturday too!
