Startup Idea : Garage Sale Madness App

1. How often do you find you have several household items that are no longer being used but not worth the effort to place ads in Craigslist. If only there was a local garage sale that you could join to get some return for those items. You do not have enough stuff to justify holding your own yard sale, advertise, and buy signs. But if you could join with some others, even for a nominal fee, and were provided enough space to display your items, you may be inclined to take action. 2. On the other side of the yard you have plenty of items and have a large yard, easily accessible to traffic. But you would draw more people if there was more variety in the items and more items to sell. You may be inclined to offer the unused space to others to achieve the above objectives and maybe charge $10-20 each for renting display space. You would end up with a larger, more interesting garage sale and make some extra money on the side. (like a mini/neighborhood flea market.) Those home owners with great locations could become professional garage sale operators and rent space to various vendors or neighbors on a regular basis. http://www.statisticbrain.com/garage-sale-statistics/
