To make a long story short, I have a programming background and made a utility that would help me process/look for books at thrift stores (to then be sold on ebay/amazon/etc). Through my researching efforts on best buying and selling practices and tips I came across your garage sale gold article. I found it helpful and just wanted to say thank you. <http://www.thrifthunting.com/> Dear J.D.-

I am planning to teach a friend to shop at garage sales soon, and this is a great summary about how to do it really well. (It saves me a lot of time, not having to type out my own summary!) The only thing I would add is to move quickly. Most of the quality stuff will be very visible, and there's no sense in wasting valuable time digging through junk. This is especially important if you have a lot of sales to hit that morning. I stumbled upon this article looking for something else, and was delighted to find it.

You can find cheap stuff — like my footstool and my endtable — but you can also find good deals on quality furniture. In two weeks, when we participate in the annual neighborhood garage sale, we plan to offer a perfectly good loveseat, a nice dining room set, and some quality easy chairs. We’ll ask a little more for this quality furniture than we would for other stuff, but the prices will still be bargains. [...] [...] Garage sales almost always have furniture of some sort.
