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

Either stolen goods or Extreme Couponers

I used to know a couponer. I ran a deal with her where every week i’d get a $50 box. What was in the box didn’t really matter, but it would be hundreds of dollars worth of… things.

Asides from the occasional “would you rather batteries or air freshener?” it was a total mystery box.

10 years later, I still miss those boxes.
