Great article. Those are some beautiful home pics. A few years back I was as garage sale beast. Early Sat or Sun mornings off I went looking for the deal of the day.
I have been known then to buy the whole thing if it were small and cheap. Some garage sales are a way of not having to go to the dump or no pickup truck type thing. The reason why is I earned by selling my discoveries and great deals on eBay at a profit.
Knowing the market like you said is important knowing where to buy and studying eBay to know what to buy. It is a lot of work, but a team effort brought good rewards for awhile.
Thanks for bringing back good memories kaliskadavis.
AND, I'm happy to see you are writing - awesome for sure!!!!!
