Yard Sale Early Birds

by Lisa Payne

"Early birds" are shoppers who arrive at a garage sale before it is scheduled to open. Early birds want a jump on a yard sale. They want to be the first to look at and buy anything of interest to them.



Quite often garage sale early birds are re-selling their purchases. They deal in garage sale fare as their main or secondary source of income. Their business inventory is derived from the treasure hunt. Essentially, they buy stuff at garage sales cheaply and then they resell them. The resale occurs on line, often on Ebay or Craigslist. They may also resale at flea markets, antique stores, or consignment shops. Because this is their "business," with a capital B, they are often determined, assertive and matter-of-fact in their garage sale dealings.

Quite a few folks, shoppers and sellers, do not think it is right to permit shopping before a sale is scheduled to occur. Their reasons may be based on fairness and business practices in general. It is not uncommon for an early bird to buy a lot, especially if prices are low and items available for purchase are "collectible." This can make the sale look "picked," with little treasure remaining for the ordinary, non-reselling shopper. An early bird therefore can make the garage sale playing field un-level.

Some people do not care to whom they sell what. However, they may not want shoppers on their property intruding in their lives during hours beyond those set forth in their garage sale ads. Early birds are known to knock on doors and ring doorbells. Some people are not okay with strangers coming to their homes other during the hours of the scheduled sale.

You may not eliminate the Early Bird, especially if you have prized items for sale. However, there are several ways to minimize early birds: Keep your garage door closed until you are ready to sell. Put a sign on your front door and your garage door saying, nicely, that there are no early showings. (Example: still getting ready for you. Be ready at 9:00, promise!) Put a "no early bird" legend in your advertisements. Go with the flow. Expect early birds and take advantage of the early sales to early birds. You don't know what the weather will be on the day of your sale. Stay firm on your prices on any early sales.

One more thing. It is not early birding to arrive at a garage sale 30 minutes before the scheduled opening. That is standard garage sale practice.
