I made a tidy sum on selling my son's outgrown sporting equipment. Used golf clubs sold like hotcakes there ! The nice thing about garage sales is that if you need furniture, and my kids moving out do, the garage sales provide and easy and inexpensive way of helping to assemble a home, without spending a fortune. I still love Ebay and have been a member since 2002 !JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-71359595762852807772012-09-25T11:07:20.329-07:002012-09-25T11:07:20.329-07:00I've never been to a Garage sale, I sell all m...I've never been to a Garage sale, I sell all my old stuff on ebay but I wash everything. Even the kids old shoes go through the washing machine, but it amazes me how many people don't do that to used items!LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-48469556162732145332012-09-24T17:31:22.940-07:002012-09-24T17:31:22.940-07:00I stopped going in the last couple of years becaus...I stopped going in the last couple of years because I don't really need anything, and I really do subscribe to the idea that less is more. I am thrilled with some of the things we have gotten recently. My son bought a gorgeous corner table for which he paid $35. I thought that was a lot until I got the catalog today from Sturbridge Yankee Shop and the table we bought is $299.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-4503861835381930922012-09-24T16:38:00.985-07:002012-09-24T16:38:00.985-07:00A former friend of my wife's absolutely wore h...A former friend of my wife's absolutely wore her out on yard sales. I've found a few good hand tools there, though, when I can keep her from howling.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-59419509296509001942012-09-24T04:56:04.342-07:002012-09-24T04:56:04.342-07:00Garage sales are wonderful - the best way to recyc...Garage sales are wonderful - the best way to recycle (repurpose I think you call it).
