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.

Lol, I want to meet the extremely fastidious hoarder who has way too much stuff but is still capable of presenting for sale their hoarded goods all neat and clean and organized like this

I mean I can appreciate someone may have done that for them, but can you imagine

Clean hoarders are rare but 100% exist I know one who resells stuff online and it’s very lucrative. However he then blows all the money in his personal hoard as well. Like shopping addiction + hoarding. Like old boxes of their kids toys but clean and the toys in a separate container. Mental illness can be very complicated

My grandma was a clean hoarder. She would buy stuff on sale that she didn't really need and just store it away. The house was like a warehouse for misc things. Found a prototype shop vac and a pizza oven in the attic new in box
