Love thrift stores for the same reasons. I used to like flea markets years ago but a lot of them have vendors selling cheap brand new stuff. It's just not as interesting.

What kind of things do you buy? I buy clothes for me and my kids, books, and some figurines. Welcome to myLot.

I love garage sales, they are fun and you can find some awesome deals there. I will buy almost anything at one, as long as it look clean and in good condition and the price is right.

I think somethings shouldn't be bought at a garage sale. Sometimes I buy things there, but it has been awhile since I've done that.

I like when I come across the named brand clothing and you only pay .50 or a dollar for them and they are still in excellent shape!
Thanks for the response ;-]

we rarely have garage sales in malaysia. the closest would be flea markets where ppl sells their own products; e.g. clothes, custom jewelery, home deco, antic stuffs...etc...its cool coz u get to buy unique stuffs which u know won't be used by anyone else but you since it is made individually.

I love going to garage sales. Sometimes you can find really good things cheap. The saying goes "One mans junk is another mans treasure". I get alot of my kids clothes at garage sales too.

I love going to garage sales, especially when I'm looking for particular items. I've had great luck when I was looking for a 10-speed when I was a teen. I got a really great one that some people had bought for their son and he never used it. I bought if for like $15 and it was worth $300 or more at the time. My mom has run across some bone china tea cups once for less than a quarter a piece. excellent condition. I think you just need to know what you're looking for.

I love garage sales. Mom and I go all the time. I love to buy the kids clothes. They mostly look new and the kids don't mind. I find alot of things, for the household too. Just have to be careful not to carry home to much to clutter house.
