Twice a year at The Memory Keeper we hold a garage sale.  It is a great opportunity for you seasoned scrapbookers with unwanted supplies to turn them into things you will use.  It is also a perfect place for the beginner, or even those of you who think you have it all, to find a few great bargins to add to your collection.

Here is how it works....

Selling Your Items at our Garage Sale  
 
Gather up the scrapbooking supplies (we will  
only be taking scrapbooking or card making related  
items) that you don’t want any more and bring them in for  
us to sell for you. After the sale, we will give you a  
store gift certificate for the value of the goods we sold  
for you. All unsold items will be returned to you. Please  
follow the instructions for pricing, and labeling  
your items.  

IMPORTANT:  We will not be taking hand made items.
 
 
PRICING PACKAGING AND MARKING YOUR ITEMS  
Please follow these instructions carefully: 
 
1) All items brought in for sale must be priced and marked  
before they are brought to us. When coming up with a  
price, please keep in mind that garage sales are about  
deals. One on-line guide suggests you set your price at  
approx 30% of retail.  

2) Every item must also have a number and your personal  
code (which will be your three initials)  
So for instance, if you have three items and your name is  
Sally Ann Smith, you will tag your  
items as follows: SAS #1 $2.00   SAS #2 $3.00   SAS #3 $5.00.  
 
3) Each person must also bring in a list of the items they  
have for sale. The list will itemize the  
code number, with the price and description of each lot,  
and should include your name and  
phone number. Sally’s list would look like this:  

Sally Ann Smith 905- 555-5555  
SAS #1 Small Circle Punch $2.00  
SAS #2 Bunny Rubber Stamp $3.00  
SAS #3 Mixed lot of templates $ 5.00  

4) All items must be at the store by the Wednesday before the garage sale begins.

5) All items must be in good condition. Please do not  
bring the following:  
· broken items  
· partially used sticker sheets  
· loose sheets of paper  
If you have unwanted whole sheets of paper, you may  
package them together in an oversized  
zip lock bag (available at Zellers) and price it as a  
package, rather than per sheet.  

 
Please feel free to give me (Sheila) a call if you have  
any questions, or are uncertain if specific items  
are appropriate.
