Review

Garage Sales 101 was a real hoot! -- Customer from Cherry Valley Store

Garage Sales 101 was such a helpful guide. It made having my first garage sale a less formitable task. -- Mother of two.

The book offers insights to novices on pricing, creating a good newspaper ad, making an alluring sign, setting up the sale and handling money. The witty, but astute, paperback is a primer on "dos and dont's" of the garage sale world. -- Julie Snively, Rockford Register Star columnist

By A Customer

The witty humor thrown into this 'How To' book makes it worth owning, even if you aren't considering having a garage sale. One of the best garage sale books I've read.

5.0 out of 5 stars For a Good Time, Call Connie, October 14, 2000

By	ken (Rockford, Illinois) - See all my reviews

This woman should be on TV not wasting her time with Garage Sales. This is one funny and informative book. I should know because I bought the first copy. If this book doesn't help you make more money from your next Garage Sale you obviously haven't read it....or you have the attention span of a 5-year-old. This book contains the wisdom of the ages. Lots of little secrets of having a successful Garage Sale. After reading this book my next Garage Sale brought in hundreds of dollars more than my last sale. (Hmmmm, maybe it was because I had more expensive items for sale.) But Connie told me it was because of her book, and I believe her. After all, she did write the definitive book and it's still under ten dollars. Just to show my family and friends what I really think of them, this book will be in all their Christmas stockings....along with a lump of coal.
