Goodwill is better; since you don't have to waste a day or two, spend all that money on supplies, deal with annoying people, have your house scoped out, and you get a receipt for tax purposes.
Garage Sale

I have no patience to deal with people trying to haggle with me.
It always makes me think of this.

i've made around $300 before, which is worth the day/time spent. it helps if you have furniture, technology, jewelry and collector's items. not worth it if you just have knick knacks and clothes.

Thorn you wouldda loved the sale I went to at the weekend. We don't have garage sales here, we have carboot sales where tons of people go to a big field and sell their stuff at the same time. The one I went to took 5 hours to get round there was so much, musta been a couple of thousand cars there. Lovely weather too, we got:
A nice wooden box which was a veterinary box from the 50's, a fold-up school desk with the inkwell in etc. from the 1910's, a nice reto faceted (sp?) desk lamp and 2 plants.

We have flea markets too, but carboots are a bit more personal because it's generally your own stuff as opposed to flea markets where it's traders and house clearances etc.

that sounds awesome!!
we had a show on tv here for a bit called junkin'. these two people would go hit garage sales, find some sweet things, and then auction them off online. it was fun to see what they ended up finding...and what a job! they would post the item, amount paid for it, and the amount it sold for online. cool stuff!!
that show was cool...they used to show it during breaks at braves games because it was so funny
When you see a cargo van, and it's blowing trumpets; just look outside 'cause you're in a flea market.
a cargo van fulling of blowing strumpets?
Make sure they file down their teeth first.
Gypsies I can deal with. Especially the Eastern European kind.
but when the hookers look like this:
you gotta bring the power tools.
