Alright, Alright, Alright!
Welcome to the 10th annual Garage Sale Thread.
Yes, we have been following in the footsteps of our founder and patron saint, Jeff Moss, for what will be a decade at the end of this year. And if that was not enough, there are many of us who learned this trade at the feet of our fathers, mothers, and other family members and friends. Let us take a second and silently give thanks to those people who introduced you to this fine and necessary work.
Now, the rules.
Before that first mad dash to be #1 in line at the estate sale, in making sure that your flashlight batteries are good before dawn patrol at the flea market, to trusting your gut on which garage sales are going to be the best, and knowing to arrive just when the thrift store puts out new merchandise, let us all hope to not find too many baby clothes!
So, who is ready to get out there and find some treasure?
I know I am.
Addendum: It is a standard part of our introductions to say a word of thanks to the previous years' host. But that does not seem quite enough with the spectacular work LesserSon has done during one of the most challenging years most of us have been through. So, I want to take this moment to reflect on what an outstanding job our former host did, and simply give him a standing ovation. But we are online, so just wave in the general direction of Pennsylvania.

Welcome to the 10th annual Garage Sale Thread.
Yes, we have been following in the footsteps of our founder and patron saint, Jeff Moss, for what will be a decade at the end of this year. And if that was not enough, there are many of us who learned this trade at the feet of our fathers, mothers, and other family members and friends. Let us take a second and silently give thanks to those people who introduced you to this fine and necessary work.
Now, the rules.
- If it is second hand, it goes in this thread. If you find a new-in-box Cootie Catcher at a steal of a price while wandering from garage sale to garage sale, post up! SK screwdriver on the side of the road? Post up!
- Everything counts. Chairs, dishes, cast iron pots, books, along with our beloved tools and shop supplies, have all been posted in these pages over the years, and we absolutely love to see what in carnation you dragged home. We love stories and, even more, we love pictures.
- Price paid is not necessary information. If you do not feel comfortable telling others how much you spent on something, then don’t. No harm, no foul. But it does make the ever-elusive “You ****!” difficult to attain. And on that note;
- You cannot **** yourself. Or any variation of that phrase. It must be awarded by others in the thread. I do not care what your mother told you, that is the rule.
- Picker of the year will be determined at the close of the year, with next year’s thread host similarly chosen.
Before that first mad dash to be #1 in line at the estate sale, in making sure that your flashlight batteries are good before dawn patrol at the flea market, to trusting your gut on which garage sales are going to be the best, and knowing to arrive just when the thrift store puts out new merchandise, let us all hope to not find too many baby clothes!
