Be Cash and Sale Conscious: Always have lots of change available and count it before you start your sale so you will know exactly what you made. Singles and five dollar bills always go faster than you think they will. Make sure you slowly count out change to buyers in front of others. Have receipts available for those who want them and make sure that all the signs, flyers and ads for your sale state that items will be sold “as is” with no refunds possible for any reason. Never count up your cash during the sale or in front of buyers. If anyone asks how much you made, tell them you not able to share that information. Cash is king, no checks for any reason.
Every 2003 acura cl is a little different with regard to pricing. And the amount you can expect to save will vary based on the type of item you’re looking for. For example, car seats may carry higher savings than fuel pumps. As a general rule, you should expect to pay 40% to 50% less than you would for a comparable new unit. A brand new “straight-from-the-box” alternator might cost $200. At a junkyard, you should expect to pay $100 to $120 for the same brand and model.
Advertise your yard sale at least one week in advance. Yard sale enthusiasts stretch far beyond your immediate neighbors, often attracting bargain hunters on the look out for the next big sale on the lawn.
Your Options Galore: At an online auto parts marketplace, there’s an abundance of suppliers offering millions of products. Hence the chances of your finding exactly what you’re looking for and of the quality you desire, are much higher. Compare this to a visit to a brick ‘n’ mortar auto parts store which can only house as much variety of products as the floor space warrants.
Make a chart of the names and phone numbers of each auto parts store in your area. Call and get prices. It does not take long to get prices. Most of the stores will get you a price on the parts you need within minutes. Make sure you are comparing the auto parts properly. In other words, compare the same quality. I like to buy USA made parts as much as possible. It pays to get good quality when it comes to fixing your vehicle.
lkq HOAs and Advertising: If you live in any area with a Home Owner’s Association, check with them well before planning any event. There may be restrictions or fees. The placing of signs or flyers on community property might cause fines to be levied. You can safely place flyers on bulletin boards at grocery stores, in some public libraries and most coin laundries where that is permitted. Newspaper ads for these kinds of sales are cheap and very effective, and there are always online sites like Craigslist. Word of mouth also helps.
I have always said a nice set of aftermarket wheels are always a great way to express you taste, and all you need to do is purchase them and have them mounted. Also a nice set of tires to go with. Remember to purchase a set of tires that will mount on your wheels, as well as being correct for your type of driving conditions. I normally recommend that you keep you stock rims and tires for the winter months if you drive it year round and live in the north. Then you can look into some aftermarket suspension. Always looks nice to lower it a little. Gives you that great handling and a nice look.
