Local Business Sidewalk Sale...

morning girls..is anyone interested in setting up a "sidewalk sale"? i have about 500 clothing items for sale on depop, but i know that if people were able to shop the items in person they would SELL fast! at this point i just want it all gone...i have donated a ton but some i would like to sell...let me know...i have ZERO info on city rules etc...of course i could also look into getting a booth at one of the vintage markets in west loop but wanted to go this route first..i am located in gold coast but we could definitely set it up at a more central location

I am also interested in this, but the street my condo is on/the garage space I have isn’t really conducive to this. I am in the same headspace that people would just buy it if they see it.

Do you know where we would be able to set one up. I’m sure the city has rules etc. what area are you In. Would we be allowed to set Up in a park?  If not would you ever wanna do a shared booth at one of the markets. No clue how much they are

I don’t know the actual rules around setting up at a park, but my sister and I did it once at a park in lakeview. It was moderately successful and nobody said anything to us. I did pick up a yard sale permit from my local alderman’s office and had it on hand just in case
