Garage Sales

Hi All,

I've been introduced to the wonderful world of garage sales...wow. That is such cool stuff.

Click here for a link to garage sales on Long Island - link is from LongIsland.com - which I've mentioned before on the blog.

Click on this second link - from Long Islandsuperads.com for even more garage/yard sales classifieds on Long Island. Neat stuff - it gives you a bit about the sale (what is included, date, time and location).

Okay, so now that I've whetted your appetite for these little encounters with stuff you might need - what else should garage sales perusers know about them?

Recognize that almost all the prices are negotiable - click here to find out how to negotiate prices - link is from Bestgaragesaletips.com - pretty cool and helpful!

Carefully look at the item you are thinking of buy - check condition, does it have all parts? Is the item dented, scratched, worn, used? If so, these are all good points to make when negotiating the price.

Sometimes you can get a whole bunch of items for one price - kind of like a potpourri of merchandise - but at a really great price.

Finally, if you are thinking of hosting a garage sale or a yard sale, click on this link from Ehow.com. The link is pretty comprehensive and thorough!

Good luck in your travels - hope you find what you are looking for!
