Depends, if I have some extra cash, and the weather is nice I might stop at a few. Auctions I dont care for, as I dont have alot of money, and sometimes people just like to bid just so someone else cant have something, and you end up paying too much lol

I like going to a yard sale, but I don`t buy a lot of things that I don`t need, we already have bunch of things in our house that we don`t really need, don`t  wanna add some more.

I like too go, but a lot of times they have the same thing I need to get rid of. I am always on the look out for items I can use in my crafts. Other wise I don't buy much. Hubby is always  on the look out for antique fishing lures. Too me they are all just lures. But he knows. It is just a way for me to be out and about sometimes, and to visit with people I know. I was gone from here for 30 some years, and it is always a surprise to run into old classmates.

I thought that too about auctions until I started going and then I figured that sometimes you get a lot for pennies on a dollar

i dont deliberitly plan on going yard selling, but if i pass one that looks interesting then i will stop.  i like estate sales and flea markets, i love finding little treasures. i have an antique doll and toy collection appraised at over 10,000 and i only paid about 1 thousand.

I don't really need/want to buy a lot of items right now, but when I do, I'm sure I will go to some yard sales...I know you can get some great deals!
