Know what to buy
You’ll find everything from half-used bottles of perfume to older-model gaming systems to antique furniture at a garage sale. Before you rush in and start buying, make sure what you’re looking at is a good deal.
Chris Heiska, a professional garage sale bargain hunter has three golden rules to help you spot a good deal:
- Buy what you need. A simple rule to follow: If you don’t need it now (or very soon), don’t buy it.
- Only buy complete items. If you’re buying something with more than one piece — like a puzzle, set of frames, or toolset — always check to make sure all the pieces are there. Garage sales don’t offer a return policy.
- Make sure it works. If you’re buying something like electronics or kitchen appliances, ask the seller to plug it in and let you test the device before you buy it.
