it is a numbers game. You go to 100 of these for every 1 that pays off big.
If you are a novice.
I can tell by which neighborhood the sale is in, if I’m even going or not.
Most Saturdays, I only go to 2-3 sales. I’m not driving all over BR, looking through tons of junk, bought at Hobby Lobby, Kirkland’s, and Walmart, hoping to find one thing.
I pick my sales wisely. I hit upper middle class (or higher) neighborhoods/areas that are at least 50 years old.
Shanadoah is 50+ years old and may have a dozen garage sales on one weekend, but I’m not going. It’s mostly middle class, and of the 12 garage sales, one may have some good stuff.
Now Kenilworth/Magnolia Woods are middle class & 50+ years old as well, but I’ll shop there. Mostly because it’s surrounded by a ton of upper middle class neighborhoods. I’ll hit those first, than Kenilworth before heading home.
I usually plan to hit one garage that looks the most promising in the ad. If it says “Household items” or HH, baby items, etc, I avoid them.
I look for key words like antiques, tools,old toys, books, misc, collectibles, etc.
if the ad says “Baby items, toys”, the toys are always new baby/kids’ toys.

Anyone else see the irony in this thread?
This dude is on here giving everyone in BR tips on what to buy & where to find the best stuff. He’s literally giving his opponents the playbook...
