Summer sales are always popular — a great way to clear out unwanted household items while making some spare cash. The best sales take a little advance preparation. Here’s a practical checklist (perfect if you’re getting ready to list your Prescott-area home).
Before the sale
- Check with your municipality (City of Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, etc.) to see if you need a permit. Multi-family or multi-household sales may need separate permits.
- Schedule for two days if possible and open early. Commuters and early-bird collectors will thank you.
- Enlist help for pricing and a second opinion on what to keep vs. sell.
- Price items slightly higher than your bottom line — many shoppers will haggle.
- Popular items that move fast: power tools, gaming systems, baby clothes & toys, furniture, and vintage décor/kitchen items.
Advertising Post details on Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, local buy/sell groups, and put up colorful signs the day before and the morning of the sale. Neighborhood-specific sites work especially well in the Quad Cities.
Payment Cash is still king, but offering Venmo or Cash App (with printed QR codes) captures more buyers.
