Garage Sale Succe$$

Unless your address reads Love Canal, chances are that you too can mount a successful garage sale and, who knows, maybe even pocket enough coinage for two tickets to the movies (as well as a $17 "small" popcorn). Garage Sale Succe$$, produced by our Canadian cousins to the north, takes viewers on a whirlwind guide to getting the most return out of those useless items lying around the house (b&w TVs, ThighMasters, jobless twentysomething children), delivering in a rapid-fire, no-nonsense manner over 100 "tried & tested" tips as the low-budget visuals follow a family preparing for and conducting a garage sale. Topics include sign-making and advertising, selecting and displaying inventory, multi-family garage sales, pricing strategies, selling refreshments and homemade crafts on the side, security issues, etc. A text addendum includes a handful of extra do's and don'ts. Given the popularity of garage sales, you might want to consider picking up this rough-around-the-edges effort, especially if you don't already own Garage Sale Magic! (VL-7/98) and/or How to Have a Moneymaking Garage Sale (VL-9/87). Garage Sale Succe$$ is also available on CD-ROM for the same price (and it is precisely the program transferred on to CD-ROM; no more, no less). An optional purchase. Aud: P. (R. Pitman)
