scottb Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Mostly the garage sales in my area are childrens clothing and toys. If I am out and about and I see a garage sale, I will usually stop in, never knowing what you will find. I collect Kodak Brownie camera's and normally can find those for $1 - $10.The best deal I found awhile ago was an automotive low profile "creeper" for $5. It is the kind shaped like a dog bone. I know this style was expensive when they were new.Last week, at a garage sale, a guy was selling a 1976 Honda Hobit moped for $300 but no title. It would make a decent pit bike for getting around Mid-Ohio camp ground, but the no title thing did not make it a good deal. I told him if he got the title I would offer $200.Estate sales and auctions seem to have a little of all types of house hold items, so depending on what you are looking for, those might be time well spent.

zx3vfr Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I use to average 2-3k a month during yard sale season. It's people's junk they don't want, they'll take anything for it. I paid 35 dollars for a fender steel lap, turned around and sold it on eBay for 4,500, that was my best score ever. Usually I'd stick to 35mm camera and related equipment, still a decent market for it (well back in 2005-2009), but with all these stupid storage shows now people having yard sales think their crap they don't want is worth way to much money and don't work on prices.
