I love garage sales, you can find some great deals and love to look for treasures.  It is a great way to save money.

I like looking at garage sales but only if I don't have anything to buy in mind. I am always disappointed if I go to garage sales trying to find something a bit specific like a dresser or something and I don't find anything that will work.

i like to find the hidden treasure.  some people will sell something for junk when it is actually fairly valuable.  i love them, also estate sales, flea markets and auctions.  i found a 1962 ideal tammy mom doll for 25c and it is worth over $100. :star: :star: :star:

I like going to them better than having them. I have yard sales 2 or 3 times a year. I like the extra cash but its hard work.

I love garage sales. Once I found an 1864 dime in close to mint condition for $1.

I have to admit that it is an interesting way to meet the neighbors.  But I rarely buy anything from a Garage sale.

What's not to love??  It's not like you pay to get in, so there's nothing lost!

Garage sales can be really worth your money. Sometimes you could find a diamond in the rough that the seller had no idea what the worth was. It is a fantastic place for sporting goods and children's toys to get at a great price. It is also really fun if you have kids and you bring them along with you. If they get an allowance then it's a good way to teach them the art of spending and saving their own few bucks.

I like garage sales, but where I live there are not that many of them. But whenever I see them I do try and stop and look.

I love garage sales i mean i rarely find or buy anything i just think its fun especially neighborhood ones its just fun to explore and see what there is out there
Love garage sales, but I rarely stop at them any more. Money is so tight now a days, that I am saviing my change. Sometimes you can find a real deal at a garage sake. I found a print of some geese and a little girl for $3 and thought the frame is at least worth that much. Then I looked the paiting up on the Internet and found out it was a really famous artist. Ebay had some listed for $80. Butt I never checked back to see if anyone actually bought them for that price. I guess I made a deal though.
