Benefits of Selling Using the Auction Method
Part 2: Tag Sales, Garage Sales and Yard Sales

Tag Sales, Garage Sales and Yard Sales are all very similar in their fashion of selling, except that an outside seller is usually hired to run a Tag Sale. The drawbacks to this type of selling are three-fold. First, it is hard to tell if you have things priced too high or too low. This can be difficult to decide upon because the market for used items varies considerably by area. Second, these sales usually span multiple days, which takes up extra time and setup. Finally, you never know what you will or will not sell. Often you are left with many things left over; these are generally the lower end items that are harder to sell or nobody wants. This requires more time after the sale to find other options to dispose of the leftover items.
