Slab,

I thought you are a free market conservative, correct? If so, why do you care how or why other people buy and sell garage sale stuff? Or are you one of those RWWJs who feel the need to control other people's behavior?

Posting this thread suggests that you hold some mutually exclusive values. You might want to evaluate that. Irish Rogue has you pegged.

PS: my opinion is that I don't care why other people attend garage sales. When I have a garage or yard sale, my purpose is to get rid of stuff. Any money I make is compensation for dealing with the hassle of holding the sale.
