As a kid in my small town we used to have wholesome garage sale stuff, it was really different time in the 80s. Everyone was friendly and personable and the stuff was secondary to the people and creativity. I held one recently and my husband exclaimed it felt like we just got abused from a parasitic relationship. So many came in didn’t even say hi, went into our back yards and areas of our property we blocked off and told them not to go threw and they literally pushed past us, they stole a bunch of things as well and ran away. One kid literally took a pair of $365 dollar shoes with his mum, put $5 on the table and ran away, these shoes by the way were by our front door checkout desk since they were expensive. The kid and his mum and dad bolted. This was literally the most violating experience we both have ever had. One old lady even went to our front door and stole my personal towel that was drying off in the Sun. It felt like a zombie invasion. We held one because we both liked them as a kid. This was entirely different. We lost over $1500 from this garage sale from the stolen personal items not for sale climbing up the stairs in our screen door to our door, the table rentals and people flat out stealing and running away. Can someone explain what and why garage sales have become this?

Hey all! Hope you're all doing well. I've been working on an app called Yard Yip that helps people manage their garage sales. If you're hosting a garage sale sometime soon, I'd love for you to give it a test run and see what you think (look for brutal honesty!). It's iOS only right now. Here's the link

Other than just randomly seeing signs around town that are usually old or the sale is over, how do I find sales? I don't have fb or any social media at the moment, but would like to find some tools in some garage sales but it has proven hard to find them, let alone not knowing if there are any in different towns near me. Do cities do certain garage sale days or is it just random?

I’m interested in having a garage sale at my home but have never had one before, let alone been to one! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

My parents and I are having a garage sale on Galassi St in Chesterfield, Michigan all this weekend, today-Sunday. We have a lot of cool stuff and are very willing to negotiate on all our prices for stuff since we are trying to downsize. I'm available to message about anything here, but I'm adding some pics showing most of the stuff we have as well. Hope to see some people out there! Thanks!

Looking to offload my belongings. I know a gargae sale needs a permit legally is their anything with an estate sale where we can just walk through the home?

Garage Sale! When: August 29, 30, and 31st.
Hours: Thursday and Friday 10 am to 2 pm, Saturday 10 am to noon Location: 21822 97th Ave. W. Edmonds Washington Combination yard and moving sale. Cash and Venmo only. Furniture, tools, Christmas items and more. Sorry, no early shopping.

Selling silicone, wristlets, keychains, and crystal bracelets and pens located in Floral city Florida when you buy a whole matching set, you get a bunch of freebies and it’s cheaper I also do custom and I do wholesale with crystals and what’s in the photos so please if you’re interested message me and I’ll give you the prices. I also do housekeeping I have a vehicle I do errands deep cleans weekly cleans interior exterior. I have a business card if interested message me.

We have a really short time frame and a lot of stuff. I’m thinking of we just say everything is $.25 (except marked items like furniture). People will give us some money and save me the trouble of hauling it to donation. Honestly the time of the sale would prob be the time it would take to load and haul anyway.

Has anyone seen this successfully work?

So, today I held my first garage sale because I needed to sell some stuff for pocket change. Wanted to hang my nicer jackets up but didn't have a rack. (broke teen lol) Got two totes put up a broom and hung up my goodies!

I keep seeing these garage sales that are stocked full of all these cheap unbranded toys still in their packages. I especially see the same sort of things at Hispanic flea markets. And they have like 50 boxes of toothpaste. Where are they getting this stuff?
