Beach Garage Sale 2012

[scotto]

I have been receiving many emails asking about the Beach sale this year due to the early date, it is as always, the second Sunday in July. So that would be the 8th this year.

If you plan to sell food, make sure you contact the City of Hamilton’s health dept for a permit.
Also I received this message from Health Canada concerning garage sales;

If your neighbourhood association has an active website or you publish regular newsletters, Health Canada has just released the following helpful information for Garage Sale buyers and sellers. Please consider posting this on your website or placing it in your next newsletter. Thank you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garage Sale season has officially begun and Health Canada is aware that many communities in Hamilton and surrounding areas are hosting neighbourhood garage sales.

Health Canada has a number of online resources to help guide people when deciding what to buy or sell during these events. It is important to note that everyone holding a garage sale is legally responsible to ensure that products being sold meet current safety standards.

Here are a number links that include helpful information and tips for sellers/buyers:

Great news! I came on here tonight to find out when this garage sale would happen. I've just moved to the Beach and brought way too much unnecessary 'stuff' with me. Time to downsize .....again! I'm renting right now, close by the variety store but am looking for that teensy weensy cottage to buy, just enough for one person and a cat. Keep me in mind if you plan to sell soon.

There will be many starting before 7am as they are camped out all night. But really there is no set time and I won't bother going out for a look until about 11am as I am not looking for bargains anyway.

Would be nice to have you on the Beach, but the Rosedale area is nice. All the best in your new place.

How did the sale go this year?

At least it wasn't on one of those scorcher days we had recently.

From what | saw, there were a lot less people selling. I years past you could walk along and almost every property had something setup. This year there were long stretches with no venders. Still lots of people looking though.
