* Have a Garage Sale.
As many of us know, a garage sale is an easy way to make a few dollars while cleaning out clutter that you no longer have use for. A great way to attract customers and make larger sales is to notify them that your garage sale has a purpose. Whether you post signs saying that your garage sale is a "Make Room for Baby" sale, or you advertise your sale as a "Nursery Fund Sale",  your customers will spend a little extra if they know that there is a specific purpose for the event.

Another great way to get rid of clutter while making money is to have a neighborhood garage sale. Simply organize with your neighbors to have a large garage sale with special stickers on different household's things. Many people will be attracted to this type of large sale, and you will end up selling more things. It also give you and your neighbors an opportunity to form closer bonds, and to create a sense of community.
