Whether you’ve bought a home, sold a home, or both, the cold, hard reality of moving means that you have to make some hard choices, like Earl and Shirley did when they sold the home they had lived in for 27 years and bought a motor home. The only possible way they could get rid of the mountain of ‘‘stuff ’’ they had accumulated over the years was have a garage sale.
In their case it was several garage sales over three weeks. During the week they would pull stuff out of the nooks and crannies of their house, garage, and storage shed and get it ready for sale on weekends. Luckily, they had a lot of help from some accomplished garage sale veterans. Here’s how they made thousands of dollars and had a lot of fun.
The first step is to decide what you want or have to get rid off. If you’re moving into a motor home or condo, that means just about everything. To help motivate you, remember—the more you sell, the more money you make, and the less you have to pack. The less you have to move, the cheaper it is. You win two ways.
