I actually love garage sales or car boot sales as they have in England. I actually used to do car boot sales in England, for extra cash, it was fun and I enjoyed it tremendously. I started out by getting rid of all my junk or things I no longer wanted/used. Then when I run out of things to sell, I would go to jumble sales and pick up up bric-a brac and clothes to sell for a profit. Do you enjoy garage sales/car boot sales???

I do like garage sales and I like going to flea-markets. Sometimes you will find just what you are looking for and at a price that is below what the retail stores are charging. That way I save some money to buy other things.

Maybe we should have an online garage sale!

In Austalia we have what are called OP SHOPS, they are really just second hand stores, but wow can you pick up some bargains, it's at matter of being in the right place at the right time.

I love garage sales & car boot sales too. Not only for the selling, which I rarely do, but for the bargains when buying. We have often gone to garage sales. My husband bought a 2nd had bike for $40 a couple of months ago, it was worth $400. I would be tempted to have my own garage or car boot sale, but they expect you to start them so early in the morning.

Every weekend of the summer there's this local fair? at the market where I live. It's basically just a big garage sale though, people gather around to sell their junk. But look for junk is pretty awesome, considering every now and then you might find something pretty neat. There aren't too many "garage sales" around here though, they're more organised into places where people bring their "junk". But as they say, one mans junk is another man's treasure. so yeah, I like garage sales :D
