Garage Sale Fanatics Are Born, Not Made
If you felt drawn to second hand merchandise at an early age, you may have garage sale blood in your system. If your parents showed no interest in garage sales, the chromosome must have been recessive in both of them. You must know that a chromosome can lurk, unexpressed for generations. You are a throwback to your long deceased garage sale loving ancestors.
Dedicated garage sale attendees have set plans of action for nabbing all the best buys. First they search for locations. Next they plot out their optimal route around the circuit on a clearly plotted plan. They print addresses legibly and calculate distances and driving times. They enter the top items of interest at each location beneath the address. Some people even put down their pre-determined top offer per item.
Garage sale customers train for the activity by getting plenty of sleep on Friday nights. However, before hitting the hay they lay out their garage sale kit as carefully as a top cadet at boot camp. They gas up their vehicles on Fridays and the pre-fill the coffee pot so that it is ready to perk while they get dressed at five o’clock in the morning. They will need comfortable shoes, preferably waterproof. Garage sale attendance requires a healthy constitution. The ability to sprint back to the car to beat the crowd to the next sale is essential. Timing is everything. Many a garage sale lover has suffered palpitations as he sees the competition loading ‘his’ bargains into their cars.
A garage sale customer who has fantasized about getting a left handed electric guitar is a happy person. His hopes are dashed when he sees a competitor carrying of the guitar. If a baby bath gets grabbed just before the professional garage sale customer can get it, the disappointment is crushing. The plans he has for the home storage boxes are dashed if he does not get to them on time. However, he will keep on going in search of other bargains.
With practice, the garage sale customer will seldom miss his most sought after merchandise. The amassing of garage sale loot is a naturally satisfying feeling for the person who has worked hard to perfect his craft.
The experienced garage sale customer will leave the amateur in his dust. The newbie does not stand a chance against a seasoned veteran. Each expert has his own secrets and guards them with care
Whether we love or hate the garage sale experience, most of us try it at least once. Usually once is enough to determine whether we are likely to make it a way of life.
