Garage Sales
Yep... you know it! It is that time of year again! Here in Michigan, April is the time of year where you start to see garage sale signs and lemonade stands. Coming from a family (mainly my aunt and grandfather) who love to garage sale, I have learned that you can find some great things at a garage.
For example, my aunt one time found two REAL leather Coach purses at a garage sale in Howell once. For both of the purses the man sold them to her for $.25 each! If these purses were to be valued on ebay or amazon they would be valued anywhere between $100 and $250! Not only can you find small things such as purses and clothes at a good price, but sometimes if you go to a good garage sale you can find some items that could cost you alot for a fraction of the price. About five or six years ago my mom bought a bike at a garage sale for $10. In the summer she rides this bike every day and it has stayed in very good condition for her.
Now I know some of you are saying, "well you and your family memebers just got lucky, I've gotten nothing but crap from garage sales" dont get me wrong, yes you can find some crappy things at garage sales, but for every five crappy things you find I can guarentee that you can find at least one really nice thing!
All in all, when you are driving by and see a garage sale sign, stop and see what they have... because you will never know what you can find at a garage sale!
