I mean, some of them really are financially strapped and trying to stretch limited dollars, but most are just plain tightwads.

I think people who shop at garage sales are doing the enviroment a favor because its less waste.I have a friend who says 1 persons trash is another persons income.Maybe you should think of shopping at garage sales or do you consider yourself to be to good to use others used items.I am really glad that you think you are one of those all above rich people.

For some people it's entertainment. For some people it's a way to stretch the dollar. A retired friend of mine who has beautifully decorated home, says that nearly everything there came from garage sales and the dumpster behind Pier 1 Imports. And 2 other people I know buy at garage sales and sell on eBay. Pay $1. for something they sell on eBay for $10. Not many items it can add up to a nice income.
I don't like garage sales myself, I would rather give my stuff to the shelter than fool with it.

charities need money more than random crap and would have to sell it anyway. saves the charity resources to have a garage sale and make a cash donation.
people that buy it ya maybe cheap, maybe poor, maybe also think old stuff is cool, maybe environmentalist types that want to reuse something rather than buy a new something, maybe just walkin by and bored then see something they like .... always lots of reasons.

True, and that is nice of you but maybe some people really need the money.

From what I've seen, it's a hobby for most people.
