In reply to: around here, we tag/garage sale in the spring and the fall. posted by chloe
see one earlier than late May and later than early September.

After the first day, I'm all the way up to $5.75 😁 Could've been $6.75 but I'm a sucker for small children politely asking if they can have something cheaper/for free (it irks me when adults do it; it's adorable when a child asks--Mom was always the same way when she participated in a garage sale). In a group of six sellers, I'm dead last...but TBH, I brought in less stuff than all but one of those sellers (Mrs. J). Also, almost everything I'm trying to sell is <$2. The only "high ticket" item I have for sale is a long black wool coat with a cute pin on the lapel that I'm asking $10 for.

The hottest items in this sale so far are the tools. Doesn't matter how rusty or beat up a saw or shovel or mallet looks, some guy wants it. One guy spent $60 on mostly tools for his home renovation business. He bought two shovels (plus a LOT of other stuff) and told us his business has, and I quote, "800 shovels" but his guys are always losing them. I'm not sure how you lose a shovel but everyone was in agreement that the old, rusty, beat up shovels were still sturdier and better made than anything at Home Depot these days.
