Gimme your tips peeps! I've gotta organise one for this coming saturday, for my uncle, and then we'll be having one here a few weeks later. I've never done one before, and don't wanna forget anything!
So far I've -
1 - Advertised on several different sites
2 - Created a FB event for my Perth peeps
3 - Created a few different signs for newsboards and streetsigns
What else is there?
Have you advertised in your local newspaper? People still check in there!
Price EVERYTHING - people don't want to wait to ask what the price is, they'll just walk away.
Have lots of change on hand.
Good luck :D
Make sure you have food and drink for yourself if you're in it alone! I was so scared to go feed myself last weekend at mine, that I called a pizza to be delivered :lol:
Be prepared for a long day doing nothing, because there's no guarantee people will show up.
Have coinage as well as notes for change.
If your neighbours come for a stickybeak and say they'll pay you back as soon as they make sure [insert item here] is in working condition, don't trust them! I ended up getting paid (with a $100 note for $16 of stuff *sigh*) but only after chasing them up three days later :o
