A garage sale may eat up much of your time but having one is definitely worth it. Here are seven reasons why:   1. Get rid of clutter- hosting a rummage sale requires you to organise and to categorise all your appliances and personal belongings. If you think about it, doing this is not another chore to bear since you really have to organise your stuff when you start packing them for the move-but of course, you just have to do a little extra, like repairing and cleaning the things that can still be sold.   2. Turn trash into cash- the most obvious reason why you can benefit from a garage sale is that you can turn your junk into gold. Instead of just throwing your old things away, you can actually earn some money from them by selling them in a yard sale.   3. Buy new appliances- you can use the money you earned from the yard sale to buy new appliances.   4. Help the environment- by selling old items, you recycle.    5. Bond with family- when you host a garage sale, everyone in the family is asked to participate. All of you plan and work together. Each one of you shares ideas as to how the garage sale would be a success. Plus you get to ask each other what items have the most value. As a result, you will know each of the members of the family deeper. This will make your family grow.    6. Help the poor- by hosting a garage sale, you make branded and high quality items, such as clothes, toys and gadgets, accessible to the less privileged. In addition, you make home appliances affordable for the poor. A garage sale is an act of charity.   7. Bond with the neighborhood- a garage sale is an opportunity for you to socialise with your neighbors.    Clearly, hosting a garage sale will not only benefit you but also the environment and the people around you.
