Media Breakaway announced the launch of GarageSales.com, a new site designed to help people earn extra money by selling their unwanted items at their own garage sales.

“In the current economic climate, many people are looking for ways to generate additional income,” said Jenny Frederick, Director of Product Development for Media Breakaway. “Garage sales and yard sales have a long tradition of helping people clear out the clutter from their houses and earn a little extra money. We developed GarageSales.com to give people a variety of free tools to help make their sales as successful as possible.”

GarageSales.com provides a variety of free services and information designed to help people prepare their items for sale, advertise the event, and get potential customers to come to the sale. The site includes a tips page with helpful information about setup, pricing, advertising and other aspects of running a successful garage sale. Another section allows sellers to post detailed information about their sale, along with descriptions and photos of featured items.

“The site is also geared toward buyers who are looking to save money and avoid buying items in stores,” said Frederick. “We provide a number of ways for buyers to learn about upcoming garage sales in their town or neighborhood and identify the ones they would like to visit.”

The site provides garage sale hunters with an interactive map that highlights garage sales in their area, along with a search function and an email alert service, allowing people to easily find information about upcoming sales.

Using the site is free for both sellers and garage sale hunters, making it a great resource for consumers, especially in today’s economy.
