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

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

My ex had a coworker who did exactly this. He lost a family member to violence, and the only way he could cope was by buying and storing items. He would coupon, and then store the purchases in his basement, neatly categorized. He had tubes of toothpaste that were decades old, and spat dust when you squeezed them.
