• Garage Sales

  I love garage sales.  They're meant to be fun.  Buyers get great deals and sellers get rid of items they no longer want/need.  I've held my share of garage sales, so I know of what I speak. But, what I don't understand are the sellers that want to sell used baby clothes, some with stains, for $3 a shirt for a 6-month-old when the same shirt sells at Target for $6.  Then they act indignant when you want to bargain.  If the items were new-with-tags, I might cut them some slack.  But, the point of garage sales is good deals and getting rid of stuff you no longer need.  It's never to make a huge profit.   (To me--Ebay is for profit. Although I did get some great deals on maternity clothes on there too--$30 for 18 pieces of clothing and free shipping).   So I walked away.  No sale.  Maybe they will get a better deal with a tax right off by donating those items to the Youth Ranch.  Either way, I wish them luck.
