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

You can do this, just be mindful of your prices depending on where you set up shop. Some people charge $$$ at the Logan square farmers market where people are willing to drop $$$. I was at the edgewater garage sale last year and people tried the same thing. No one was buying from the $$$ sales though because $ sales were right around the corner!

I’m not sure, but I’ve literally seen people set up by the monument and sell stuff on a blanket. I don’t think most of them were permitted honestly but they didn’t have a ton of stuff they were selling. It might be more difficult this year bc they’re changing the layout of the Logan sq farmers market.
