absolutely. first of all I am a guy. Molly is my girlfriend. back to your question. I thought yard sales were a chick thing until I went to my first one. there are so many bargains you can find. for example: this computer i am on. its an HP Pavilion (I guess thats a good brand) cd burner,dvd player. I mean it is the best computer we have ever had.Its a pentium 3 (i know I know its already obsolete) we are not rich as a matter of fact we fall below our states poverty level so we cant spend 1200-2500 or more for a computer. I got this one for 10 bucks. thats right ten dollars. I went to another rummage sale, found another computer (same brand) it was missing cd-rom drive. I paid 1 dollar for it and got the memory card out of it and put it into this computer. so guys you can really pick up some good deals on a lot of stuff tools, guns just a lot of stuff out there. YOU know I actually screamed for my girlfriend to stop the car because I saw a Yard sale sign. I love them!

YES! My goodness yes! When I was 76-8 months pregnant thats what we did every weekend was look at yard sales. We got such good suff. WE got a $150 stroller-carseat combo for $50 and almost all of my sons clothes (he has2 dressers and a 4 foot long storange bin full) for around $100 total. We also got our couch and loveseat for $35, for the both together, and there were only tiny tares about 2 inches on the arm rests other then that perfect! I love going to yard sales! :P

It isn't underground - the taxes have already been paid on the items that are for sale when they were bought new.
I have got so many great deals at yard sales and garage sales and flea markets I couldn't list them all! It would bore you stiff - but to me they are real 'finds!'
The saying, "One woman's trash is another woman's treasure!"
Couldn't be more true.

I don't know that I would call it an
"underground economy",
but yard sales rock!!
I is my right to re-sell my own junk
after paying full price for it.
What's wrong with that?
It's not like you really rake in the bucks for doing it.
