Garage sales!

[kslim]

Man they are just the worst. I have all of this crap I don't want anymore and the mouth breathers it brings are hilarious, what say you gE.blog is it better to just donate it/throw it away or make a little extra scratch getting rid of your old crap?

[Emo EMAW]

One of my friends bailed on a weekend of fishing for garage sale weekend one time.  I think they made a couple hundred bucks.  Better to just donate it all, claim it's worth way more, and enjoy your weekend not dealing with the general public.

this is something poors do, yes?

Usually will stop by them in my hood to check out if there are any good finds on tools. Still don't think I've bought anything

im not sure. I mean people keep buying my crap so maybe? Like I said I don't know how to feel about it

[Brock Landers]

No, this is something homeowners do at some point in their lives.  Especially if you live in a smaller town that has those white-midwesterny city wide garage sales/town festival combo.  I finally participated in my town's sale last fall and it was kinda neat to do just once.  I made like $150 off of crap that wasn't even worth my effort of throwing in a dumpster.

love them.  having/going it doesn't matter.  whoever thinks it's no fun to pull crap out of their storage that they haven't used/seen in years and set it on the driveway to pocket $1000 on a saturday while drinking beer is really weird and i probably wouldn't want to drink a beer with them because they are obviously a hoarder

It's fun if you can work up the motivation to actually do it. Kick in back in the lawn chair and sip some suds and get ready for some dickerin' (new word i learned from the history channel) and get rid of some stuff (the first world's greatest burden)

sell any larger items of real value on craigslist or ebay though

[kslim]

Just remember blast what doesn't gets sold ends up in the fatty auction

just joshin with you guys. i grew up rocking garage sales. would impress the crap out of shoppers with my soccer skills in the driveway.

They're great. My wife loves to shop at them, and while some wives go shopping and spend $200, she'll spend $14.75 on a Saturday.

Wait until your friend is having a garage sale and just take your crap over there and have them sell it for you. That's what I did.

Somebody did that at my sale one time. I only gave them about 10% of what their crap sold for.

Binge level 2 before too long I'll just be giving crap away

[KITNfury]

Never had one for me. I kind of like interesting and unique stuff flea markets and lower end antique stores sometimes offer so on a level I kind of want to go to garage sales. But then I'm like, anything good will be taken by those weirdos that show up and 7am and it's probably just baby clothes so....nah.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Yeah, I think selling your junk (pun intended) on Craigslist is usually pretty safe.
