Virtual garage sale or online garage sale, from what I can tell is just a fancy name for selling the items you no longer want or need, through an online platform.

That being said, if you’re interested in hosting a traditional garage sale, you’ll want to click here to watch this video where I share my best tips for a successful sale. The cool thing about a virtual garage sale is that you don’t have to block off a weekend to sit in your yard, you don’t have to have a ton of stuff to sell, and you can protect your privacy a bit more.
