My garage sales in the past have been rather small, last summer I had a big sale and had a camera system set up. Everyone made jokes about it being lame, but it worked rather well. I had a lot of people want to purchase the camera system, it was fun.

I find that the best garage sales are unadvertised, they are the ones with the random garage sale sign on the street. The best way to find a lot of garage sales is first by finding out if there is a 'City Wide' garage sale event. In my town, it happens twice a year. There Is a special paper made with all the addresses and descriptions of the items available at the sale. Craigslist can sometimes be a good place to find garage sale ads, however, they aren't always local.

Thanks, Travis. Just found this website tonight, I'm looking forward to engaging with others as well as learning and teaching new things!

Hello Everyone, I'm Alex, I'm 20, a young entrepreneur from Iowa. I started my own business when I was 16, buying and re-selling products. Now, I currently specialize in specific products online. I also attend auctions to obtain products to sell online. Aside from internet sales, I also sell in a large antique mall in Des Moines, Iowa. I'm also a business consultant for brick and mortar stores as well as online stores. I have turned around many local small businesses and made them into success businesses, I've also done fill in management work for a very large electronics company. While running my own business and taking on many projects, I also attended high school and college during that time. Don't ask me what I all learned about though, sometimes it's hard to remember with so much stuff going on!

Anyway, I'm hoping to participate on this website often, if you have any questions or guidance on anything, feel free to contact me. I can help as much as I can.
