Insider tips from expert sellers to help you stage the sale of the summer.
For a long time, buying secondhand was considered uncool. But if you ask Jen and Matt Schachtebeck, the founders of Toronto's Hogtown Flea and owners of vintage store Coffee and Clothing, the perception around sustainable shopping has definitely changed over the past few years.
"It's easier for millennials who are parents to get their foot in the door.… Secondhand for kids is definitely the way to go — they grow out of and get bored of things way too fast to warrant buying anything new." "People want a history with their clothes," Satenstein added. She said that some of the items at Sevigny's sale might not have sold on a third-party retail site, but in the context of celebrity, became desirable "because someone really loves her, and they love her vibe and aesthetic and her history with her clothes.". If you follow these basic tips, then you too could make a tidy profit off of cleaning out your old stuff.
If you or a friend has a knack for it, you may also want to consider styling your items into little vignettes — think a coffee table with books, candle holders and floral arrangements or your dishware set up for a dinner party."Garage sale pricing can be tough because you're not going to get full market value on some items if sold individually.
Online neighbourhood groups or swap groups are also a great place to advertise your sale. If you'd like to organize a larger group sale, the Schachtebecks recommend reaching out to your local neighbourhood associations to see about options.
