Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. I look for the neighborhood sales, which are usually either in spring or fall.

In this scenario, however, there’s no guarantee that your garage sale will make you good money. Thankfully, I know a way to achieve both ends: declutter your home and make money at your next garage sale. What Is a Garage Sale? You may have also heard it referred to as a yard sale.

I love going to garage sales. This past weekend, I went out garage sailing just for fun. Of course I want it to look nice in my yard so now I am spending time and money on it. Of course they needed fixing up so he found a place in town that puts new brass coatings on, and trust me, those don’t come cheap.

Of course, the kids aren’t the only ones to be blamed. I have a soft spot for good sales, whether they be at the local retail store (I bought way too many Gymboree shirts for my daughter when they were on sale for $3.99) or at a garage sale.

Another benefit is that I am cutting the governments out of the loop – there no sales taxes on used stuff (except big things of course, like boats or cars). Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. Sales are a great place to find your Christmas décor.

Of course, if you don’t plan to sell the item, you might want to repair it so you can actually use it or get full enjoyment from it. That same person may troll neighborhood garage sales and offer to cart away anything left after the sale for free. Others may be appraisers or TV show stars as well!

Last week I visited a garage sale. This is a biggie while you are on vacation (you won’t get back this way, buy it now) or at a sale event (such as a garage sale or estate sale or auction). Of course, sometimes, the situation is actually true. Reciprocity. Illusion of demand. Do you watch HGTV?
