Man garage sales are always so hit or miss
They should just have them set up in a big parking lot and have it be like a flea market so I dont have to keep getting in and out of my car for boring sales
We went to one this summer that advertised it being a "plant sale" as well and we were like oh that sounds fun!! Yeah they were selling mostly dead cuttings in water for $3 each. Bitch. And half dead succulents for $5 (tiny ones, not worth the price) and like the saddest little cacti for $4 it was so depressing man
Then we went to some yesterday and I got a lot of ornaments but nothing really fun like last summer when I got like 4 "cherished teddies" figurines for like $2 each
Like idk what it was but the citywide sale last year was FUN we went to like 5 different ones and one guy was selling dentist chairs and dental machinery from the 90s (his buddy was a dentist and had passed away from cancer, leaving the business to the friend. He had no experience nor desire so he was just trying to offload it).
We came home with so many bags of shit last year and this year it was like one bag and 90% was ornaments, some we got for free from an old church friend
I remember two years ago we went to this really big church garage sale and got so much shit then it started POURING RAIN so hard the tents concaved ๐ญ and the people running it were like "just give us $20 for the whole lot it's fine, you're drenched go." And my mom had to like reverse haggle them into taking $50 bc it was A LOT of stuff. Eventually she got them to take $20 for the items and a $20 donation sgdgdggd
The next year they moved it to an indoor venue and it was super organized. They declared they were never doing it outside again lmaooo
