[5-DayForum] Advertising at a Neighborhood "Garage" Sale

[Bill Effros]

Don't do it.

Confuses the issue.

Hit every buyer at the same time on the Wednesday before your Sunday Sale.

You can't know if you got through to the 3 real buyers if a lot people 
respond from the garage sale.

Stick very closely to the book.  Don't free-lance new ideas until you 
have 1 or 2 successful sales under your belt.

The 5-Day Method has been developed over 15 years.  There are reasons 
for why you do these very simple things in order. 

There is more going on than it seems.  It's very easy to do right.  
Stick with the system--at least for now.
