"This is Ron with Expert Village I'm talking about organizing a garage sale. Now when you're organizing the money factor of a garage sale, you want to get a sheet of paper and you want to write everybody's name down that's going to have items out there. So for instance maybe the kids are putting out certain items, you could either organize it by the family, but typically it's best to organize it be the individual. So if you have the teenager that has its items you want to tag them according to color. You can buy these at Wal-Mart or where ever, maybe the red tags are for the teenage girl or the blue tags. Each person can either pick a color, they can simply write it on the tag, their name George, Alyssa, Peter, whatever and so that way when you collect the money you will know whose item is whose and you can quickly write it down and keep tally of everybody's money."
