Image by pikisuperstar on FreepikThe first Cameron Station Yard Sale of the year is right around the corner! Come together with your neighbors on Saturday, April 20, 2024, to declutter, recycle, and find some amazing treasures. Whether you’re looking to snag some unique decor, upgrade your wardrobe, or simply enjoy the thrill of bargain hunting, this event is not to be missed! For sellers, bring gently used (or new!) items like clothing, furniture, kitchenware, electronics, toys and books, and more. To set up for success, secure your spot early and display your items attractively. Consider using tables, racks, or boxes to help organize your merchandise neatly. Don’t forget to have change for customers, or perhaps allow for electronic payment. All items should be in good condition and priced to sell, so everyone can walk away happy.
For shoppers, come prepared with a shopping list and an open mind. Negotiation is part of the fun, so don’t be afraid to haggle a bit, but remember to be respectful to the sellers. And be sure to bring reusable bags to carry home your new found treasures sustainably.
