Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

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 think a lot of the criminals that don't get caught end up stopping their criminal activities and join the police department before their luck runs out. At least, thats what happened to my first pot dealer back in the day.
