Right now, there is more money tied up in yard sales than there is gold in Fort Knox. Having just burst forth into the ranks of Yard Sale Elite (L33t S41l0r for you yungins...) I can state this emphatically.
The worst part is, the pile just keeps getting bigger. Here's what I mean. People sell stuff at yard sales because they don't use it anymore. People who think they're going to "save a buck" get up early every saturday morning and go buy stuff. The problem is, they're not going to use it either. So, it will someday be fobbed off on some other unsuspecting professional yard saler. (or one of those people that rent a booth at one of those flea markets) Stuff only goes "in" to the yard sale circuit... it never comes out.
You can see why this is a problem... someone like me who never shops at yard sales, enters the fray with a couple hundred dollars worth of useless stuff. Bam! The yard sale economy grows.
On a very loosely related subject: You have lots of time to think if you are putting on a yard sale. The first person who can show me an official vanity plate (with registration) from any state with the letters "EFUSEEK" gets a $10 Chili's gift certificate.
Hasta,
Ryan
