In this scenario, however, there’s no guarantee that your garage sale will make you good money.

It all depends on your luck and how good you are at finding the right garage sales in your area.

When my dad and I picked up a load of furniture from the abandoned house, we grabbed two matching nightstands (not pictured below!) I did this one while I was still living with my parents, actually. I sanded it down in my dad’s garage. Both for the furniture and for me. Recognize the base of my dining table?

Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. When college was looming, my parents offered to let me live at home cost-free while I was in college, as their contribution to my higher education. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing.

He built his own garage. At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? He made his own electric lawnmower. He fixed his own car. He was a trained radio and TV repairman, when those had tubes. I wish he was still around. I’ve got a lot of things that need fixing!
