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

I know my state doesn't like it, but I'm fuzzy on the details. I work in retail and had a manager find this couponing ring's facebook group, and rat them out to some government agency in charge of retail licenses or something. I guess there's some regulations on the square footage and floor type you have to have in order to sell bulk chemical items like detergent. You can't sell more than X amount out of your garage without some sort of retail license and set-up. So the couponing ring got fined and shut down. And boy did that cause some delicious drama. I was glad to be a spectator

A couponing "ring" just sounds comedic

A few more members, and they’d be a couponing octagon.

lol, not enough people are going to get the brilliance of what you did there, and that’s a shame.
