Best way , and better than opening a retail store for few months .. Retail store will cost you rent, preparation, attracting traffic, signs, etc............... which will probably exceed more than $15.000-$20,000 for only couple of months..so best way .. start making a plan for a yard sale (and make it every 2 weeks).. you need a very careful and clear plan first, about all the steps.. 1- you need to pick the place (better to make it in a alot of traffic area) ask your church or a near relative who have place like that.. this is better than making in her yard if there is no high traffic) 2- Decide the date.. (Dates) for how long etc.... 3- Make fliers (Print them even copy print on staples or office depot) it will cost at most $50.00 for 1000 flyers.. and then you have to start pass them 2-3 days before the yard sale .. and on the days of sale as well.. 4- make a classified ads on your local newspaper , runs for a week / 3 days.. the costs no more than ($20.00-$50.00).. 5- don t forget to put your flyers on the boards of restaurants, churches, etc..... you will find that your total costs with all of that would not exceed $200.00 with all those ads and preparation.. less than 1% of the costs of store and etc.. Plus you could start it this weekend or the next .. not like the store which will need 3-8 weeks to make it ready .. hope this help,Good luck and have a great day ..
