Nothing like a good garage sale, we have found some great stuff over the years!

Yea i like  to collect video  games from them or video  consoles
I always look for those too. I just bought a Playstation 1 for $5.00. I haven't hooked it up yet to see if it works, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

When I was young, I used to go a lot with my mom. After several years, she finally stopped going to nearly every one she saw and wasn't going much if at all. My sister and I used to hate how often she would go (not to mention, how often people were having them), especially since we almost always were dragged along too. I think she was addicted or something. Lol

I love garage sales. You never know what you can find. I haven't been able to go in awhile though because I lost my job and I can't afford the gas as we are living on a fixed budget. Can't wait until I can go again.

I love going to garage sales but don't get to go is much as I used to.  I try to get my son or husband to go with me.  I like to look for books and other cool things that i can use in my garden.  But I have found that some people now think that some of the stuff that they have is worth more than it is.

I love garage sales. We get up at sunrise and go to them, we will be back around midday. Gas is expensive but the price of the things is great, so i still go to them in times like this.

I haven't been to a garage sale in SO long.  Years and years, really.  I definitely need to go sometime.  And I most definitely need to have my own because I have a lot of stuff that I'm not using but someone else might be able to.

When I started to set up at flea markets, I went to yard sales and would find great bargins that I could make some money on.  Later I got irregular towels and hemmed at night and I would got to flea market on weekend and sell them.  They were my best source of income besides my job during the week.  I did this for a few years and the company started sending the irregular towels over seas.  I just about cried.  I could not find anything else that I could sell that made me that kind of money.  Today the flea market business is not good.  I quit 11 years ago as I am older now.  And not able to work that hard anymore.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you.
