New parents have lots of paraphernalia to buy and often
 can't afford to buy everything new, so garage sales are a
  great way to recycle kiddie stuff from one family to the
next. New parent are excited every time there is a garage
sale. Spring is popular for garage sales as that's when we
get to clean out what's cluttering our homes - the garage,
  attic, basement and the dining room table. Garage sales
offer the perfect opportunity to reward your de-cluttering
  efforts with a night on the town, a new outfit or maybe
    you want to add a little extra to this year's vacation
                           budget.
What to Sell (Buy) at Garage Sales
The real goal of any garage sale should be to rid your
house of clutter. Life will be less stressful when you don't
  have to move things from room to room, or search for
 things forever because you don't have enough storage
                             space.
Here are the most popular items to sell at a garage sale
                   and good luck!
*Sports equipment for kids and adults, i.e. golf cubs,
               tennis rackets, etc.
*Tools including hand and power tools, up to expensive
                 gardening equipment

*Electronics for fun and home offices are popular, plus CDs
                         and DVDs
*Household items from dishes, glasses, cooking and
       baking equipment to refrigerators
*Furniture from chairs and tables, to beds and dressers
*Decorating items like picture frames, pillows, quilts and
                          clocks
What to Sell (Buy) at Garage Sales
*Jewelry and craft supplies, i.e. what people can use for
                   multiple purposes
Of course, it's also important to know what doesn't sell
so you're prepared. Adult clothing won't sell unless it's
 almost free, i.e. 5.00 USD (or less) for a bag of clothing.
 Magazines should be given to a nursing home or tossed.
Getting Rid of Stuff Left from Your Garage Sale
The important rule is that the things put out for a garage
sale never come back in the house... period! They go into
the car right away at the end of the garage sale and taken
          to to your favorite charity the same day.
You can search for "thrift shops to donate" and find
location near your home. If you're getting rid of furniture,
some groups, like the Salvation Army, may even pick items
                             up.
