Its hard to judge just what people coming to garage sales are looking for! We had about twenty people in all despite all our advertising! Did not make a fortune but sold some of the bigger items which helped. Not on a busy road so did not get any passing customers. Only two came after seeing our ad on egaragesales, which was disappointing as over two hundr

What a great site this is. I was very impressed with how quickly my ad was approved (even at 5pm on a Friday evening), and how quickly I have had a response to a problem I had via email. I'm impressed with the price and how many people actually came because of the ad I placed on here. Thanks egaragesales :)

Hi, I just wanted to say great work with the website. I had my first garage sale last weekend and it was crazy. I had people sitting out the front of my house in their cars at 5.30am!!! Not sure if I'd do it again, too stressful but found your website very handy. Cheers.

My sale went well. Even though I advertised as 8am start there were still early callers! Your website was a great help! Very informative. The garage sale checklist was excellent.
As this was my 1st GS and I like to be organised, it was a great guide. My only disappointment was that the ad didn't appear in the local paper. I did advertise, but it never h

The website says sellers can "Update your advertisement at any time". But I think it is pointless making changes to your ad when everytime you do you have to wait for your ad to be "approved". I think this is a disadvantage to seller's, as people who are searching for garage sales will not be able to view yours until it is "approved" again and who knows how

Many thanks for your offer to refund part of the cost of advertising our garage sale in our local press. What a great idea.
We spent $49.50 on placing an advertisement in the Maroondah Leader.
Our garage sale was a great success we feel largely due to the advertising we did, in which your website played a major role - so much information could be put

We used the coloured dot method to price most of our things and we put signs around saying how much each colour was we had a lot of positive comments about this. The weather was terrible, can't help that, so our sales where pretty slow we put up lots of tarps and we were quite organised. The tips & hints were really helpful I recommend them to others. Thank

I advertised my sale in the newspaper classifieds with their online service and was able to include your web site, so thanks for the $15.
Placing the online ad in egaragesales was great also as alot of the people who came to our garage sale saw our ad on egaragesales. Thankyou for having such a great website. We will definitely use your website again if w

I had a successful day. I put up my ad 2 days before my sale and had 27 hits on my ad so that was good. I also put an ad in the paper. Wasn't til three quarters way through I thought to ask where they saw ad. But ones I did ask, it was through paper. But if I ever have another one or know of someone having one, I would recommend advertising through both so

Had a garage sale today which was unfortunately quite slow. Ended up making about $450 on the day, but had heaps more to sell. I know exactly where we stuffed up, I should have advertised in the herald sun and local leader paper. All I did was advertise online, did a letterbox drop and posted up signs and flyers around the community. Most of the people w
