A move can present a great opportunity to rid your house of items you may no longer need. Whether you don't wear half of your closet, your kids have grown out of some of their toys, or you plan to upgrade pieces of furniture in your new home, hosting a moving sale can be a great way to de-clutter. Having a moving out sale before you start packing your house into boxes, will minimize the amount you have to pack, saving you time and money. This can also be a way to make a little extra cash before the big move. Get organized a few weeks in advance, so you can make sure the day goes as smooth as possible. We've put together 4 easy steps to hosting the most successful moving sale.
1. Advertise
Schedule a date for the sale, a few weeks away to leave time for you to prepare. Advertise by posting flyers around your neighborhood, on local websites, and announce in local newspapers and online with the date, time, and your address. Be sure to check with your local authorities to see if any permits or taxes apply when organizing a moving sale.
2. Organize
Go through every room in your house and decide which items you want to keep and which ones you would rather leave behind. Search through closets, drawers, underneath beds for any items you can part with. If you run across things that are broken or worn out, throw them away, or recycle when appropriate. Then decide if there are any belongings you don't need anymore, but can give away. This could be a piece of antique furniture that you would like to hand down to a family member or clothes that can be donated to a local organization. Organizing items into categories will make the next step in the process easier.
3. Set Prices
After you have decided which items you are going to place for sale, the next step is to set prices. Make a list of everything you are going to be selling and put a price next to it. This can be hard, especially for items you may have an emotional attachment to, but try to be reasonable to make the most out of the sale. Having your items in categories should make this process easier as you can base prices on relative quality and other criteria. After prices have been set, put price tags on every item. Also remember that people may want to negotiate prices with you, so you should be ready to make a deal.
4. Host the Sale
Place smaller items on tables, clothes on racks, and larger items on the ground and keep them in the categories you have already created. Greet your customers and help them find what they are looking for. If there are left over items at the end of the sale, consider putting them online or donating if possible.

My family has used infinity moving for three major moves and a 1/2 dozen other jobs over the past 11 years. Every infinity representative and employee has been fair, friendly and professional. Our most recent move was finished by Sal and Jeremy who were no exception. Highly highly recommend this company.
Today Sal and Jeremy R. came today our house for help us moving. They was really professional, friendly, and so quick. I definitely recommend them for sure! Thanks Sal and Jeremy :)
Gerard and Jamal! Peanut Butter & Jelly, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Milk & Cookies, Peas & Carrots. These gents were efficient, careful, accommodating, friendly and fast. The price was right, and I couldn't have been happier with the service. Superb Vibes. Will use again and recommend to the masses.
Friendly and professional company. This is truly a back saver and the large trailer made the transition a quick two trip process. Highly recommend using Infinity Moving Co. for your next big move.
Gerard and Kyle had all my furniture and heavy items safely loaded in about 15 minutes--couldn't believe it. First time hiring movers and had a perfect experience with Infinity Moving. Professional service at a great price--they are my go-to moving company now. Thanks guys!!Edit 2024-09-07: Hired Infinity Moving a second time and had the same great experience. Very fast, professional, and careful not to damage anything. Will definitely hire them again for future moves.
In my time of greatest need, two Infinity Moving Company hero’s can to the rescue, Mark and Xavier. They arrived promptly at 1:15P, and were finished in a flash. All my belongs were safe placed inside my home without damage to them or my residence. They were pleasant, respectful, considerate, and came across as honest human beings. (5 stars for you both)
We were helped on our move by Gerard and Jamal. They were incredible efficient and we had a very positive moving experience. Their services are reasonably priced, they are punctual and we highly recommend this moving company as I have now worked twice with them over the years.
Awesome experience. Needed moving assistance on short notice and Rachel was super friendly in turning around the estimate. They sent Jeremy and Xavier who were excellent and did a great job on the move. Would highly recommend Infinity if you need moving assistance.
We used infinity moving for the second time for a home move and we were just as pleased as the first time. The first move was over seven years ago so I thought I would give them a call this time, and they still had very competitive pricing, showed up on time, were very efficient, and delivered everything without any issues for an out-of-town move! Well done again!
These guys are great and made our moving experience very positive! Very quick and efficient. We will definitely use them again and you can't beat the price!
The entire process of working with Infinity Moving was efficient, professional, and a great value. From the moment I called the office, Rachel was accommodating and scheduled us for a last minute move. The movers showed up on time on moving day and were friendly and aware of any fragile or important items. I fully expected the move to take 3-4 hours including 45 minutes of travel. The team had us packed, traveled, and unloaded in less than 3 hours. This place will be my first call if I ever move again!
I recently used Infinity movers for an across-town apartment move and would highly recommend them. Booking was super easy and efficient and their rates were very competitive/affordable. On the day of the move, I received a text 30 minutes prior to arrival to confirm and then Gerard and Xavier worked extremely efficiently and effectively. They were great about navigating my high rise and were quick to get things loaded and unloaded. They were both friendly and professional. None of my furniture or belongings were damaged or dinged and they took extra care of my large smart tv. Again, I would highly recommend them for your next move!
Greg and Jordan took great care to move my things. They were very professional and responsive to all my moving concerns/needs. I think they did a quality job and I would say they are well worth the value.
This team helped me with my move across town last Thursday. They were all polite, hard workers, great attitudes, and efficient. I would recommend this company to anyone needing help moving. I plan to reuse them in the future. Thanks guys!
Gerard and Xavier were amazing!! They communicated with us along the way and were very careful with all our items, and they made great time! Highly recommend this moving co. :)
I have used them 3 times now and wouldn't use anyone else. They are always on time, responsive, reasonable pricing, and top notch people every single time. I highly recommend them!
