Garage or Yard Sale is a social event or gathering where you meet
many people whom you may know well, acquaintances and strangers.
Therefore as in any social gathering you need to put on your best
behavior and display good etiquettes. Etiquettes do not mean greeting
the shoppers or giving away carry bags or offering them light
refreshments. There is more to it. Here let’s take a look at the some of
the etiquette No-nos.
Avoid too much touching – As in any situation, too much of touching while talking or moving around can be misconstrued. You as a host must be careful about these things. A friendly handshake offer is all that is required. Putting hands on someone’s shoulder or touching him/her can be misunderstood for flirtation and many may not like such things.
Do not share too much personal information- Yard saling is any social gathering where buyers and sellers meet. But that does not mean that you should talk about your family or friends here. Be a good listener and give information where it is really required. A mild small-talk on surface topics is fine but not beyond that.
Never swear or use offensive language – Remember that most of the shoppers who come for yard sale would be families with children. So you have to be extra careful about the language you use and what you say around them.
Basic manner is must – Welcome the shoppers with appropriate greetings. If you are suffering from a cough or sneezing or any contagious ailment during junk/garage sale weekend, you should turn away and cough on the elbow. Remember, to wash your hands or sanitize them with good sanitizer if you cough into your hands.
