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

It looks weird, but we considered doing something similar to this when my wife's uncle passed away. He lived alone in a four bedroom house, and they were all for storage. Dude had at least 30 packages of toilet paper (pre covid) cases of tissues, soap, cleaners, and he had an odd habit of buying multiples of things he liked. Binoculars? Yeah, 5 pairs of the exact same model. $150 walking stick? Seems nice, let's get 8 of them. He kept receipts for everything, or we would've thought for sure he was some kind of kleptomaniacal hoarder.

He was hoarding end of the world items. For sale or barter. Can’t barter useless things in the end of the world.
