How can I have a yard sale while living in an apartment complex?

apartment sales

I live in a complex and I have no garage or yard. I am planning on moving and have some stuff I would like to get rid of, but how can I do this? I don’t know anyone with a yard or garage and I am not interested in selling anything online. Any advice?

You can have a indoor yard sale, peo0ple do it all the time here because of the cold or they live in apartments.

Options:
1. Sell the stuff out on the parking lot.
2. Sell the stuff out of your apartment.
3. Sell the stuff at a flea market.
4. Sell or give the stuff to your friends.
5. Move the stuff.
6. Junk the stuff.

The apartment complex across the street just set up some tables on the edge of the parking lot on the street. Thats how they did it.

No one bothered them!

Talk to your neighbors in the complex and have a community yard sale in front of the complex. We did that once and it gets more people coming in for the sale.

Try a consignment shop, they take a % but do all the work.

A lot of good suggestions here –

you could also borrow someone else’s yard?

a friend’s, or perhaps a small fee or percentage to a nearby neighbor?
