The answer is yes, if you take precautions. You can have a garage sale, and it’s a great way to clear out some of those unwanted and no-longer used items that are taking up space in your Libertyville home, garage and yard. Safely having a garage sale in the age of COVID requires that you take some steps to ensure the safety of you, your family and prospective buyers who check out your garage sale.
Here are some suggestions to consider before you have a garage sale at your Libertyville home:
Put up signs by your house and garage that are clearly visible indicating the desire that people wear masks and observe social distancing while shopping at your garage sale. You may want to add language to that effect on signage that you put around the neighborhood pointing people to your garage sale.
Have some extra facemasks available. You can even charge a dollar for a facemask if someone needs one.
Have hand sanitizer handy. It will comfort the nervous when they see they can use your sanitizer to clean their hands. And it’s a good thing for you and your family to use since you don’t really know who has come to your garage sale and touched the items you’re selling, as well as the cash and change you exchange.
Be prepared to wipe things down. Have sanitary wipes handy so you can wipe down items potential buyers have touched. You might even impress customers when they see you wiping their purchase down after the sale. It says you care.
Maintain your Libertyville garage door and garage door opener
When the garage sales over, or maybe before, you may want to have your garage door and garage door opener maintained. As long as you’re putting the garage to work for you, return the favor and give a little TLC to the garage door and garage door opener. You’re Libertyville garage door and garage door opener will thank you.
