yard/garage sales

[dodgers16]

  I always like when I see a yard or garage sell and I stop at it for a few minutes!! you never know what you are going to find

we have one every year. Great way to recoupo some of the money you spent. And since we bought a house this year-everything we don't sell will be donated for a write-off. Win-win!

Our neighborhood does an annual yard sale and it works out fantastic, a lot of people come because there are a lot of houses invloved. I do flea markets from time to time but they aren't as good because you can only lug so much there. When the yard sale is at our house, it all comes out.

I like yard sales and used to have them from time to time, but the older I get, it seems like so much effort for what you make.  I like to go to them sometimes, however.

I've never made that kind of money. Last garage sale my sister had she made $1. Last one I had I made about $60, which included a couch and a refridgerator. People haggle too much and it just irritates me. I either donate or sell on eBay.

I use to do tag sales every year. It's easy money in a weekend, but a lot of setup. Still worth it. Congratulations on the added cash!

I like going to yard sales But have started getting really picky at what i buy, besides i need to get rid of a lot of stuff that i have packed up when we moved and i really would like to get rid of it. A lot of it is antiques and i am going to let it go cheap. Tired of dealing with dealers that want to steal it and i would just as soon let the general public have it. Ina small town i lived in we used to have a blocl yard sale ( 2miles by 2 miles) there was usually about 10-15 homes doing it and we were busy all day for 2 days. Enjoyed it and made money too. My husband and son were auction junkies. Brought home everything under the sun and then i had to get rid of it.

I love going to garage sales too.  I'm always in the market for books as my husband and I are both avid readers.  I enjoy having garage sales myself too.  I used to have one in the spring and one in the fall but have not been able to for the last year or so since I keep 3 of my grandchildren so their parents can work.  I do plan to have one when school is out for the summer because I do have a 10 year old grandson who can help with the 1 year old while I do the garage sale.  I've definitely baby-proofed my kitchen and den so keeping the baby in this area would be no problem for the 10 yr old and I would just be outside the back door if he needed me.  I've been randomly going thru closets and dressers and kitchen cabinets and boxing things up I don't need or want anymore in prep for the garage sale.  I usually make $200-$300 and that gives me some cash for my fall vacation with my sister.

We had our first one a while ago and I think if my mom hadn't donated half the toys we had we would have made an easy hundred. Instead we came away with about 70$ and we have a bunch of space extra in our basement now. A win-win for everyone! I love shopping at them too. I love seeing other peoples stuff..

I really enjoy yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, and auctions. I go almost every week all year long here in Washington State.

I love going to garage sales. We live off the beaten path and haven't had much luck doing a rummage sale.

I think that garage sales can be an excellent source of additional income both from the buying end of things and the selling side.  I see dozens of pickup trucks and vans pile into our neighborhood every Saturday morning and people loading up on all kinds of junk.  I spoke to a lady that holds a rummage sale once a month and asked her how she accumulates so much garbage.  She said that she goes to other neighborhoods, buys things cheaper and than sells them in our neighborhood or gets a receipt from Good will if something doesn't sell in three months.  She said that this covers twenty percent of her mortgage!
