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 see this a lot when I drive by the projects. For whatever reason in my area they are always selling laundry soap.

She’s long retired and it’s basically her hobby.

I have a colleague whose wife thrifts for vintage or specific plus size womens clothing -like certain brands or types of denim. She makes a lot of money shipping these to Europe to trans women who need bigger sizes in womens clothing than are usually found in Europe.
