Sebastian De La Ghetto! Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It depends on two things: 1. your location2. what you have for saleIve seen hardcore garage sale shoppers go through rain, sleet and snow for a good sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danax Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Another angle to consider is that a lot of your potential competition is probably going to wimp out if it's cold. I'd go heavy on the signs. And, some people are positively gleeful with this weather, and want to be out and about, whereas in the summer they're hibernating. Rain, that's another thing.Another possible negative is "the holidays", which could put a damper on sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
