A "Purple" Elephant Sale

You may have heard of a White Elephant Sale.  It is a fun name for a tag sale.  Kind of the concept of "one person's trash is another person's treasure".

But....a different spin on the tag sale mentioned earlier in the blog.  Set up a time and a place that people can easily get to.  Ask them to bring you items for your team to sell.  Bring their "purple elephant items" to donate.  Then, your team can go through the items, price them and have your sale on a different day.  Advertise the drop off day and time and any type of items you do not want.  You may even offer to pick items up if that works out better.  Then....sell their "stuff" and rake in the profits for your team......
