Your preparation timeline

Dates use your local calendar. Change the sale date to recalculate every stage.

1. Two weeks before

   Choose a date and backup plan. Check local permit, signage and property rules. Sort items into sell, keep, donate and recycle. Ask helpers and participating households to confirm.

2. One week before

   Research comparable sold prices. Test goods and check official recall databases. Create or update your DealDrive listing. Share accurate dates, hours and permitted location details.

3. Three days before

   Clean and label merchandise. Prepare tables and racks; check stability. Print signs and check placement permissions. Review the forecast and cancellation plan.

4. The day before

   Prepare change and verify payment accounts. Charge devices and pack bags and wrapping. Confirm helper roles and parking arrangements. Check every advertisement for accurate details.

5. Sale morning

   Walk the accessible browsing route. Secure private areas and spare cash. Place permitted signs and open at the published time. Record your opening cash float separately.

6. During the sale

   Confirm totals before taking payment. Verify payments in your own account. Mark sold goods and record actual selling prices. Keep walkways clear and review weather conditions.

7. After the sale

   Close the listing and remove temporary signs. Count proceeds privately and subtract the opening float. Record costs and review results. Donate accepted leftovers or arrange appropriate recycling.
