Re: when having a garage/yard sale...

I personally could not bring myself to buy clothing (under garments, bathing suits, probably not even a coat) or shoesChat Icon .

my MIL and i have been hitting a few yard sales the past few weekends, since she is a grandma for the 1st time. She babysits the baby a few days a week and wanted toys. I can't believe the great deals you can get on toys and books!! All that stuff is really great to buy b/c you can wash it off and its totally usable. We steer clear of things that are fabric, or stuffed animals. things you can't clean easily.

Car seats are another thing I probably wouldn't buy though. i think they have a "shelf life" but i could be wrong.

Never any food.... I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I can't think of anything specific. I would put anything you are willing to part with out there to sell. People will really buy anything!

I know it's not a garage sale, but a friend of mine put a used shower curtain on ebay and someone bought it! it wasn't even her shower curtain, it was left by the previous owners of her house!! Gross!Chat Icon
