If 2020 was a living space, it’d be a messy one with loads of dirty laundry, old take-out food bags and coffee-stained work documents scattered around. Then, there would be a single, spotless rectangle that co-workers see on Zoom calls.
Between working, schooling, sleeping, hobby-ing, eating and just living indoors under a mandate, space gets messy. Clutter builds and I’m sure once or twice during this quarantine you’ve questioned why you have so much meaningless stuff. Well, forget the why and let’s focus on the how. How will you return to the balanced, organized and carefully curated house you once had before the strain due to the endless indoor hours of quarantine? The answer: an online garage sale.
Now, before you go moving your old sofa to your front yard and placing a price tag on it, there are a few things to consider. The first being that this event, like so many this year, needs to be socially safe, meaning it needs to be virtual. Luckily, the virtual options are actually easier than the manual labor of setting up your furniture or old things on your lawn like a typical garage sale. You can literally be selling this old sofa on your phone while you are sitting on said old sofa.
This guide walks through the best options for hosting an online garage sale. You can sell anything from a beat-up chair to a one-size-too-small coat. And, to make matters even easier, we have some printable sheets to keep track of your sales and thank you cards to ensure satisfied customers.
Yes, 2020 has been a mess, but 2021 doesn’t have to be. Declutter and start out on a clean note by selling all that old stuff (and making some rainy-day cash) with an online garage sale!
