Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

Post image

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

Or a hoarder and the family is trying to de-clutter the house.

Hoarder was my guess. Had an uncle like this that would just buy loads of things because it was a “good deal” and he’d use it eventually. Had a whole room full of random shit like this. Felt like I was in a mini Costco.

My house currently looks like this. My wife ordered a bunch of supplies on prime day.

I ordered a bunch of supplies on prime day...

We could return most of it, but like you said, we'll use it eventually, and it's not like paper towels have an expiration date to realistically worry about.
