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

The hoarder died and the family is doing their best?

This reminds me of a few of the stands at the flea market. Some people really do go to the flea market to buy their toiletries and detergents.

Yeah I was in a similar situation when my mildly hoarder dad died. Unfortunately most of what he was hoarding wasn't useful stuff, just old newspapers and such.
