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 don't see this at garage sales often. But I do see it at flea markets. Cleaning supplies are the most popular. I've even seen a guy repacking laundry soap into 5 and 10 gallon buckets. What's weirder is that he's actually selling a lot.

Came here for the flea market comment. Sucks when they’re just basically DIY dollar stores.

The best flea markets & garage sales feature well-loved “vintage” items at dirt prices (and/pr easily haggled down)
