I have been disappointed one too many times by garage sales where I hoped to find something worth purchasing, only to discover that the sellers should have moved their wares a little further down the driveway to the curbside. On trash day.
The problem is that there are so many ways to sell second-hand valuables: consignment shops, antique stores, and flea markets abound, not to mention websites like Amazon and eBay that let you sell stuff without ever leaving your home. So I’ve found that garage sales are truly the bottom of the barrel; it’s junk that people couldn’t sell anywhere else and would probably throw away if they can’t get fifty cents for it.
Which is why I’ve given up on finding anything good at garage sales anymore.
