For residents not participating, please note the date & time. You may wish to schedule your time to be out and about before or after the scheduled time of 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Noon) on Saturday, November 11. Or better yet, volunteer to help a participating neighbor!
Tips for Residents Participating in The Enclave Community-Wide Garage Sale on Saturday, November 11th
Here are a few tips for our resident sellers for the upcoming community-wide garage sale:
- Be prepared with change in your till or money belt.
- Mark prices on sale items beforehand to increase sale opportunities.
- If shoppers arrive earlier than the start time of the sale, you are not obligated to serve them.
- Acknowledge all shoppers.
- Ask for help running the sale to increase security.
- Be observant and wary of distractions.
- Do not allow shoppers into your home.
- Do not answer questions about alarm systems, daytime/nighttime occupancy, etc.
- Have a phone on your person to report any suspicious activity or to seek a neighbor’s assistance.
- It is preferable to not accept checks from strangers.
- Lock doors into your home. Be sure you have the key on you!
- Place expensive items near you (usually by the checkout table).
- Watch your cash box and keep only a minimal amount of cash visible.
- Provide bags or cardboard boxes for shoppers to put their purchased goods in.
- At the end of the sale, if you still have items left that did not sell, you might consider donating to a local charity. There are several in the area including H.A.A.M. (Humble Area Assistance Ministries), Kingwood Society of St Stephen and Goodwill.
