Do you go to garage sales? If yes, what treasures did you find?

Usta. Not so much any more.
 
Used to go every weekend with my grandma in the 90s. We'd go hit all the yard sales and then go out for lunch. Good times.

I used to go often with my grandma as well. Nowadays, I don't see them very often. Think it's cause my grandma's dead and I don't leave my house. #sadface

Every so often; best find was a set of brass candlesticks that I got for about $5. Had them appraised and they were estimated to be worth about $100.

Same here #DoubleSadFace

Also; some places, like YWCA have "estate sales" which can be pretty cool. :D
Yes, been to a few of those. Even "hosted" one for a family member who passed away.
 
It's been a while. I don't live in a city that hosts a lot of them in my particular area. I'd have to go out to the suburbs. I go to thrift shops more.
 
I have a lot of nostalgia for yard sales, and, in general, wish there were more of them. I liked that sense of discovery, and how, a lot of the time, the prices wouldn't be outrageous or unreasonable at all. Nowadays, an old PlayStation 2 videogame or some generic action-figure is seen as a "collectible" with a price gauged to the sky. Back then, I would remember finding old discs with 25 cent stickers on them.

I remember going to a yard sale near my old house. The prices were so high, higher than what you'd pay for buying the same item brand new. This lady had a yard sale literally every weekend and kept putting out all the same stuff over and over again. Never sold anything. Gee, I wonder why? :P
