Not enough information – too general, March 15, 2000

I was terribly disappointed in this book. It covers 17 chapters in 94 pages, including 5 pages for the title, copyright, table of contents, and introduction. There are 17 pages of cartoon-like pictures and 10 quotations from famous people that take up a page apiece. That leaves 62 pages of content. The chapter for How to Prepare Your Items for Sale is one-page long, and boils down to “dust and clean it.” A huge rip-off. I’m returning the book.

Very Poorly Written – Shallow Book, January 29, 2002

Although I’ve had many yard sales myself, I felt I could always use more tips and ideas. This book had received several good reviews; therefore, I felt I could learn from Pam and Michael Williams and their supposed years of experience. Boy, was I wrong. To begin with, they need a new proofreader. I’ve never seen so many typographical and grammatical errors in such a small book. Secondly, the content was so shallow, my 10 year old could have contributed as much information as they did. Lastly, it was loaded with quotes, cartoons, and enough “white space” to fill another small book. It definitely was not worth the money. I’ll put it in the .25 paperback book bin at my next yard sale.

Garage Sale Magic was an easy to read book which gave me all the basics,along with some creative ideas for bringing more people to my sale and increasing my sales. I only wish I knew about this book years ago when I did my first sale. Buy it!
