I’m adding some new websites about garage and estate sales. How to take what knowledge you have and use it to your advantage.
July 25, 2007Well they say to do what you love so I am going to put together some new websites that may be of interest to you. I have long been a fan of garage sales, estate sales and yard sales so I figure it is time to write about what I love to do.
Not only do I love looking for treasures and bargain hunting, but I am have been very successful at it. I want to pass along some of my experiences and also give you all some of my expertise in this area.
I have hundreds of photos of items I have bought and sold over the years and you can have fun looking and learning too. Some of you can make a living at this if you take the time to learn the ins and outs of the business.
As a teenager, I was very fortunate to have been mentored by an elderly couple who owned an antique and jewelry shop. They spent hours teaching me the business and sent me out on weekends treasure hunting for them. I made quite a bit of pocket money as a teen by just buying a few things at yard sales and selling them to them for a profit. I have done this throughout my lifetime.
It never occured to me that I had a lot of unique knowledge and experience that I could share with people. Besides being fun, I am passionate about it. I can’t wait to get these websites going. Garage and yard sale savvy is something that takes years to learn, and estate sale savvy is another area of expertise in itself. What is savvy you ask?
Defined as: shrewdly informed; experienced and well-informed; canny
I am shrewly informed, but not in all things, just certain things. Things like musical instruments. Some are worth buying and some are not. Knowing the difference is where “shrewedly informed” come into play. I’ve been a musician all my life. Through the years I’ve learned quite a bit about musical instruments. I use this knowledge to my advantage. Especially at estate sales. Knowing what to buy and for what price is the key to making money. What do you know a lot about? Use that to your advantage. That’s what my website are going to be about. How to take what knowledge you have and use it to your advantage.
Is this cool or what? Drop me a line or two and tell me what you think. I would love to hear from you all.
So be patient, as it will take me some time to get my new websites up and running. But until then keep checking back. If you have any ideas that you would like to see on my sites, make a post here. Here are the new names of my sites. They currently redirect to my carpet buying website until I get them ready to launch.
