Grand Slam Garage Sales is an innovative and successful business which was founded in Houston, Texas in 2004. Started by Ben Weissenstein when he was a freshman in high school, Grand Slam Garage Sales quickly developed from a fresh idea to a booming business, offering services ranging from full-service garage sale operation to pressure washing and item removal services and then expanding to an online format while still offering start to finish help for people to remove and sell items.

Grand Slam Garage Sales (GSGS) prides itself on professionalism, honesty, and a serious work ethic. Founder, Ben Weissenstein, instilled these values into the teenage workers he originally hired from his pool of friends and classmates and into the current stuff of students and adults today. Weissenstein’s goal was simple: Help lots of people throughout the country who want to clean up the clutter around their homes while making a little extra money at the same time.

Based in Houston with sights set on expanding throughout the world, Grand Slam Garage Sales has the highest knowledge level in regards to running sales for people and the ability to ensure the sales are run well with little to no effort from the customer.

Very impressed and wish you luck.

Reliable and professional in every aspect of the contract – great job.

These guys did an excellent job on the sale. Very impressive work from this young group.

Overall I had a very good experience with the company. It started off a little rough with the team showing up 4 hours late. But the team was efficient and carefully loaded the items. They even professionally disassembled the beds and kitchen table for loading. They decided that they didn’t want to load our garage refrigerator, because it would not sell and they would need to rearrange the truck some to make it fit. I said I had my doubts too, but that I wanted them to load it because otherwise I was going to have to pay another company to pick it up. They said they had already talked with their boss Vern and he told them they didn’t have to load it. I told them I was going to call Vern myself, and went in-side to make the call, and they quickly closed up the truck and took off!

It was quite a sight to see me running out of the house after the truck, and af-terwards my wife and I had a laugh about it once we learned the truck made it to the warehouse and they didn’t just drive to Mexico.

I had to call 1-800-Got-Junk to dispose of the garage refrigerator and paid them out of pocket.

The sale went well – I got regular updates of the progress and a detailed itemiza-tion of the price on each item. I discussed with the company President (Ben) what happened with my garage refrigerator and the late arrival. He said he ad-dressed with Vern and agreed to refund me most of the cost of disposing of the refrigerator.

So overall I was very pleased with the final result.

Great attitude, hard worker, good service. Awesome service with a tremendous group of hard working students.

Bought a day bed from these guys and the service was great. Clear comunica-tions and was willing to meet and even deliver. Would buy from these guys again.

Guys were very professional and did a great job. Thank you very much.

My husband and I purchased a lovely sofa at a very great deal, the service was very professional & prompt delivery, our transaction from beginning to finish was splendid !!!! Look forward to shopping again with them….GREAT JOB GUYS !!!!

The guys really know their business. They showed up when they said they would and just took charge of the whole operation. I couldn’t have done it as well myself.

Garage Item Pricing

Knowing how to price your items is of importance. For example, there was a man in California who purchased Ansel Adams negatives for $45.00 only later to find out they were worth $220 million.

• Baby Clothes– Price depends entirely upon condition and brand. If it's from baby gap or Gymboree and has a tag on it still, 5.00 and up should be reasonable. If there's no tag or it's been worn then $3.00 or less is appealing. If there are stains or damaged clothing it can be thrown in a donation/free box which will entice other purchases.
• Clothing - Again, brand names and condition help the asking price here.
• Plain tee shirts -.25-50 cents.
• Brand name polos, lacoste or other trendy brands - $5.00
• Plain blue jeans - $1.00
• Brand name jeans - $3.00
• Fleeces, jackets, coats, and other winter gear - $4.00
• Dresses & skirts - $5.00
• Items with tags still attached - $10.00 or 70% of original retail price whichever is more reasonable
• Pocketbook and purses – Depending on brand name $10 - $70
• Ties - $1.00 or bulk deals such as 10 for $6.00
• Dress shoes - $5.00
• Tennis shoes - $3.00
• Flip flops and sandals – If never worn $3.00

Books, Novels, and Textbooks – The going rate for a single paperback novel and outdated textbook is typically $1.00. A hardcover book in good shape can go for $2.00 and, and depending one how many books you have, it is often a good idea to make bulk sales at a price break to help move them.

Cassette Tapes – Many people still drive cars that have cassette players and many elderly individuals listen to opera, musicals, and classical music on cassettes. Also jam bands such as the Grateful Dead and Phish have lots of cassettes floating around that are worth a pretty penny. So there still is a market for these. 10 cents apiece for a non collectible tape. If you have a collectible tape or motivational tape then $1.00-5.00 is an ample starting price point.

Compact Disks – CD's are another dying breed due to electronic and digital media players like the iPod. However, we all have a CD player in our vehicle. $1.00 a piece with a bulk deal of 10 for $5.00 is fair, just make sure to check for scratches as you wouldn't want to purchase a disc that doesn't play or skips.

Electronics - This is the broadest category of items to price:

• VHS players - $15.00 try to sell it as a bulk deal with your VHS tapes
• DVD Players - $20.00 Also push this with the DVDs for sale
• Blue Ray Players - $40.00 although uncommon at sales they are available time to time
• Casio Style Keyboard - $25.00
• CD Players, Radios, and Alarm Clocks - $4.00
• Car Stereo – Dependent upon condition and wiring parts $15-30.00
• Printer - $10.00
• Desktop Computer – Depending on age and software - $50-150.00
• Computer Speakers - $10.00
• Landline Telephone - $5.00
• Remote Controllers - $1.00

DVDs – Depending on the age of the movie $2-3.00 is a fair starting price point. If it's brand new in the wrapper still or is a new release within the past couple of years then $4-6.00.

Household Items – As long as its in decent condition most household items are a breeze to sell at a sale as the bulk of visitors are looking for new furnishings and useful items for their home. Make sure to clean up all of these items, especially food related ones, to avoid spreading germs to the new owners.

Videotapes - VHS tapes tend to be popular at a garage sale and some shoppers like adding to their historic collection. 25-50 cents a piece is the going rate, and bulk deals such as 5 for a dollar will help sales. If you have a rare or collectible tape such as a Disney limited release you may want to consider keeping it or auctioning it off as you probably won't maximize your value at a yard sale.
