## Where to post
1. Facebook Marketplace — create a Garage Sale listing with your date, time, and location.
2. Local garage sale groups — search your town name plus garage sale.
3. Your own profile and neighborhood groups.
## What a great post includes
- Date, hours, and rain date
- General location (street or neighborhood — you can share the exact address the day before)
- Your best categories: baby items, tools, and furniture pull hardest
- Two or three photos of your best items
## Timing
Post 3-5 days before the sale, then bump it the night before. Reply to every comment — engaged posts get shown to more people.
## Pro tip
Our free Facebook Post Generator writes a ready-to-paste post for you from a few details.
