garage sales suck, the effort that goes into finding, cleaning, pricing, and arranging a pile of garbage is never worth the monetary reward. it would be more profitable to search the couch cushins for loose change.
first you sift through all of your stuff and actually sucker yourself into believing you have some things of value. then as they day wears on you can't understand why no one wants to buy it.
i decided to spin it around and walk into our garage sale as if i were a customer. i took an objective look at all the stuff and realized i would not purchase any of it at any price. then i took it a step further. i walked into my house as a stranger would and looked around for anything i would buy. there was nothing. i own a huge collection of crap.
a sampling of crap is pictured above. the box contained a first generation digital camera, a first generation web cam, a wacom tablet, 28k and 56k modems, an inkjet printer, a mouse, a 105mb syquest drive, and tons of odd cables and adapters. the whole box was marked at $5 (if priced as new, about $1400). it did not sell till late in the day. i probably could have made $10 on ebay.
