[Blindtlk] How do blind people have garage sales?

[Judy Jones]

Hi,  Anyone having a garage sale, sighted or blind, will have to organize ahead of time.  If the yard you are going to use is near by, and you have free run of it, at the owner's consent, you could move your stuff over yourself and set up how you would like.  Do you have tables for your things, are you going to use a clothes rack?

Your Paypal idea is a good one, and maybe you should sell that item separately.  Also, what are your plans for signage?  A lot will depend on coordinating with the person whose yard you are using.

Subject: [Blindtlk] How do blind people have garage sales? 

Hi All:

I am in the process of reorganizing my house, for a possible move, and need to get %rid of or sell a boatload of stuff. I currently rent, and may have to borrow somebody's front or back yard to have a garage sale. I'm just curious to know if anyone on here has ever done one before? How much sighted help, aside from transporting all the stuff over there, is needed? Can a blind person successfully carry out the process of having a garage sale? The only thing I can see might be problematic might be payment. One of the things I will be selling is a huge upright freezer which will cost a significant amount. Would it be best to have the buyer pay me through Pay'Pal for this item if they have an account?

I just want to know what I may be dealing with, as I am uncertain how long I can have sighted help for any lasting block of time.

Thanks!
