Reduce:
At Global Garage Sale we help people reduce the amount of unwanted or unused goods that they own. We also assist businesses and manufacturers in reducing inventory and overstock merchandise. By selling high quality used items on eBay, we hope to reduce the world's consumption of resources and the number of products reaching the landfill before their time.
Reuse:
By facilitating the global exchange of quality goods Global Garage Sale is promoting the reuse of items all over the world. Our shipping department also reuses clean boxes and packing materials collected from other local businesses.
Recycle:
At Global Garage Sale we recycle all of our paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminum foil, and printer cartridges. We use 100% recycled paper to print all of our invoices, packing slips and contracts.
The quality of people on the Global Garage Sale team is what makes our Company work. Your goal is to own your own business, and our mission is to help you achieve this goal by offering friendly, knowledgeable support along the way. We have developed an eBay Drop-Off Store System that will allow us to move forward together into the future.

If we do good work the people will come back.
Good work means taking care of our customers.
Global Garage Sale is a company built on customer service. We take the
time to sit down with our customers to explain how our eBay Drop-Off system
works, and perform free eBay appraisals of the items they’ve brought in
to sell. Building trust with our customers is the first step in forming
long term relationships. They know that the items they leave with us are
safe and will be presented for sale on eBay in the most professional way
possible. Over 25% of our customers come back with more items to sell,
and we have a 99.9% positive eBay feedback rating. Our Winooski, Vermont
flagship store is in a comfortable warehouse space with two large fish
tanks, an antique sofa and a vintage barber’s chair.
Good work means performing and delivering a service at the highest
level of excellence.
The Global Garage Sale team works directly with our clients to ensure
a fun, professional and secure sales experience. All items are researched
and photographed in our store, assuring the best possible listings on
eBay. We provide a toll free number for questions from potential buyers,
and promptly answer all emails we receive. This helps our merchandise
sell for the highest possible prices, and keeps both buyers and sellers
coming back to visit us again.
Good work means hiring the right employees and providing them
with the highest level of training to do their jobs.
As we enter our fourth year in business, we continue to fine tune our
operation. In so doing, we are able to continually train our employees
in appraisals, sales, customer service, and shipping.
Good work means that that we are committed to socially and environmentally
responsible business principals.
Whenever possible, we utilize reused shipping materials and office furnishings,
and have located our business within a downtown redevelopment area. Our
company van runs on compressed natural gas which burns over 90% cleaner
than comparable gasoline powered vans. We hold these principles to be
an important part of our brand, our company philosophy, and our business
responsibility to the local and Global communities.
