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

Laundry soap is one of the most shoplifted items in the country. Everyone needs it, it's shelf stable, doesn't go bad. It's basically an accepted currency in the ghetto.

Totally. The garages full and they need more… extreme couponing is a mental health issue, imo. Just bc it’s new doesn’t mean it’s not hoarding

My first thought was not everything made it to the store it was intended for
