We are in our Shop!

Things are exciting 'round here as we made the move into our new shop and warehouse space!  It has been a whirlwind but we are excited about the possibilities!  WE ARE KICKING OFF THE SEASON AND THE  Grand opening of our new shop with a contest!   We are passionate about making a difference in the re-use and resale of products in an effort to help our environment and with that in mind, Green Girls Garage is picking a name that reflects what we do.   The products we sell range from newly created items,  to store returns that we feel still have a life,  to used or recycled products.

The two names:

1.   What a Great Idea!

2.   Fresh Start!

Please vote on the name and automatically be signed up for drawing on a
Nano iPod! 

To celebrate we are having a contest.  Help us name our shop!  We have a poll where you can vote on our blog and  then go to Green Girls Garage on Facebook and tell us how you voted.  You will automatically be registered to win an iPod Nano...watch for our open house...coming soon!

Clearing the Clutter!

There comes a point in many people’s lives, when they are forced to "clean house" or liquidate. If they are moving to a new location, it may be cheaper and simpler to sell their household goods than it is to pay the cost of shipping. In some cases you look around one day and find that you have collected too much stuff over the years – WAY TOO MUCH! So what do you do? 

There are various ways to liquidate – estate sales, auctions, garage sales, consignments, and ebay. Which one best fits your situation? In order to answer that question, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each and evaluating your situation is crucial. The quickest way may not be the most cost effective for you.  

If your house is on the market in addition to needing possessions liquidated then an on-site sale increases its exposure dramatically. Just think, all the sale attendees seeing and talking about your home for sale. If you have a liquidation sale, our staff of professionals have staged and arranged the house to looks its best.   Read more about the ways you can clear the clutter, make your life simpler and sell those unwanted items, giving them a second life and making some money at Green Garage Store.
