the garage sale or the yard sale is the same mean. The garage sale sell the used thing but it's still good quality. You can buy something with the cheap price over there. It’s not hard to find a garage sale. Someone move to the new house so they want to sell something they don't need. You can see the information about yard sale every main pilar. It's not a bad idea to get something from garage sale. But it requires a lot experience about to shop. Garage sale is good price but you have to make sure about the quality. You can save much money from buying yard sale.

Garage sale is when people sale their thing or clothes that they do not need . In my country we do not have this kind of sale . I were a few times on garage sale , but i never bought something . I never fined thing that i need ,but i know many people that found many good things there .For example , my husband bought a very good grass cutter and for a very low price . I think the best seasons for garage sale are spring , summer and fall . In those seasons the weather is good and it makes garage sales more convenient and interesting . I think the biggest reason for a garage sale is people selling staff they do not need , but some people do their garage sale because they need some extra money .

Garage sale or yard sale this is when people sale some staff. Which one they don’t use anymore. Sometimes people move for smaller house then they live now. And they need sale some staff, because they don’t have space for this staff. In my native country we don’t have a garage sale. We have a special place where you can sale use clothes or something else. But this is like “Bazar”. I was one time on a garage sale with my husband. On that time we bought 2 new bikes for very lower price. I think it was very good deal. But I didn’t see anything interesting what I can buy. Some people have a garage sale because they need to sale staff because they don’t have any place for all this. Some doing this for fun, some because they need money. I know people who every weekend goes to garage sale. And they bay a good staff for home and children. It very good idea save your money. Because you can buy staff there just for chip. I think summer and spring best season for garage sale.

I think that a garage sale is interesting and helpful thing. We can see many interesting things on a garage sale. Also, we can buy cheap goods such toys, clothes, dishes and other. I think that sale of unnecessary things it's a good idea. I know that children like the garage sale. They can earn pocket money, when they sell their things. I think that it's a good idea for them. Sometimes, I go to a garage sale. Sometimes, I only look and sometimes I buy things.

Garage Sale is the sell a lot of things that the family don’t use or don’t like , clothes, kitchen stuff , ornaments for holidays, furniture, etc. All things put in the front of the house for the sale. When I come for this country was very interesting to see and bought in Garage Sale, because in my country there is not. Sometimes I go to Garage Sale when I saw a nice something and it is expensive, I offer lower price when it is in very good condition. Many times I found something that I like, small furniture and ornaments for Christmas that I buy for my home. Is very good to do Garage Sale because the people organize your garage with only what they use. I think that the end of the season is the better time for organize a Garage Sale.

A garage sale is where people sell stuff that they don't need but it is still good for others.I never saw a garage sale in my my country.In my country if people dont need something they just throw it away.I never go to garage sales though because I dont need anything from there and never go to garage sales if i need something i just buy it from the internet or from the store.The reason for having a garage sale is so people will sell the stuff that they dont need or they just dont have space for that much stuff they sell it to others that would probably need it.I think the most garage sales are in the spring..

Garage sale is when people sell the things they don’t need, don’t use or don’t have space for that staff. In Ukraine we don’t have a garage sale we have stores like thrift store or bazar where they sell used staff. Some people have garage sale because they need money some people do garage sale just for fun. When I was a child on the summer time we made something like garage sale. Avery kid from our street sell something like stamps, homemade bracelets, small flags and something sweet. Sometimes we earned some money besides us earning some money we had a lot of fun. Sometimes I stopped at a garage sale but I never found something good for me. Some people go every Saturday to garage sale and they buy good and chip stuff. I think summer and fall is the best time for garage sale. I think garage sale is a very good idea.

In my country (Brazil) we don’t have garage sale. The first time that I saw the signs saying “Garage sale” I got confused thinking that they were selling only the garage for the house. I asked my friend what was it and my friend explained to me that many people when are moving out, they put the things that they don’t want to sell and the price is very good for who buy it. After a little while, I bought a fridge very new from my neighbor that was doing a garage sale. I feel good buying because he was moving out, didn’t have where to put his stuff and needed money to pay all the expenses to be moving out. I really think is a good idea because it helps the seller and the buyer and I wish people starts doing the garage sale in Brazil too.

Garage Sale is a giveaway for personal and household goods that you don’t need anymore. Also, there are cases where people moved or left their house, they also do garage sale. In our country there is no such a thing. If people have good things and they do not need them, they give them to someone. Garage sale is a very good idea. There you can find much that you need for a low price. When we arrived we often stopped near the garage Sales. We bought a bed, refrigerator, table, bike, etc. The best season for garage Sale, I think is a spring and summer.

What is a Garage Sale? This sale of things that you no longer need. People are selling what they already do not enjoy. I think that some people do it for fun, but some people tried to make money to buy things that they need. In my country there is and never had a garage Sale. But some people were selling things from second hand. But in order to sell items must have a permit. At present I do not dwell on the garage Sale. But when we first arrived in America, we often went to the garage Sale and bought the necessary things. For example, when we moved into the house that we rent, we didn’t have washing and drying machines. We went to a garage Sale and acquired a very good washing and drying machines for just $ 40. At that time we were not able to buy new ones. A good time for garage Sale, spring, summer and autumn.

In my country garage sale looks different and is called “bazaar”. I know how to talk to sales person to get great deal. I visit garage sale just during spring and summer time. I buy sometimes but exactly what I look for. Some people shop a lot just because it is cheap. Some people make garage sale just for kids’ fun. Some people want to get rid of old staff. But once upon a time when I moved to new house, I looked in Rocklin area all garage sales for furniture. Finally, I found nice couch in great condition and two chairs with good quality. They looked like new, with perfect price, because those people were moving to other city. We could be unexpectedly very lucky with garage sales. I never had garage sale myself, but I like shopping at garage sales with surprise prices.

Garage sale is a way to sell what you no longer need. In my country there is no such as garage sales. In this country, I have not bought at a garage sale. How to negotiate a price I do not know. I think the need to bargain. This is similar to buying or selling cars. I think at a garage sale you can buy some rare things then. I have seen often sell paintings and old statues. For many people, garage sale is a way to get rid of unnecessary things.

Garage sale is to get rid of people stuff that they don’t want it anymore or people are moving to another state that they do not like to bring their stuff with them. Sometimes my friend and I stop by on garage sale and she found stuff for her little puppy outfit. I did not buy anything because most of garage sale was a baby close which I have a lot of them. The good thing in garage sale is very cheap price also you can negotiate the price. I think the reason of doing garage sale is to get rid of their stuff or junk and same time earned of money. Also, they do not need to rent a place just to get rid of it. The best time to do a yard sale on spring or summer and Sunday in the morning.

There are garage sales In the U.S. Once my husband and I went to garage sale. We searched for bike, but we did not find any. So, I did not buy anything on garage sales yet. I like the garage sales in the U.S., because on the garage sales you can buy something what you need with good price. In my native country there is no garage sales. People used to buy new things. Used things are not very cheap, so people mostly buy new things. However, there are “secondhand stores” in Ukraine. There prices are low, but things are bad quality.

Garage sale is place where people sell different things that they don't need. We don't have garage sales in my country. I never stopped at a garage sale in this country but some of my friends stopped and I was with them ,so I know how it was. Actually I don't know how to negotiate a lower price because I never did it. I did not find any thing at a garage sale that I wanted or I needed. I think that not always people buy something at garage sales when they stop there. The reason that people have garage sales is maybe they need money and that's why they sale their things and clothes.Also I think that they don't need their things and they want to get rid from them. Most garage sales are in summer because it is best season for sales.

Garage Sale is things that particular person is no longer needs or like. Also when people decided to move to small place and they don’t have anywhere to storage, so they would sell and make space. I don’t have a country, but I was born and raised in Thai Land and I am not aware if they have garage sale. I never been to garage sale but if I do I would know how to negotiate to a lower price for instances if they tell me $3 for pair of pant; I would say how about $2. I never been to garage but I am pretty sure they would have books, cabinet, games and etc… The reason that people have garages sale is because they don’t need any more of the items that they own or over storage. I think that the best season people garage sales are during spring and summer.

I stopped in garage sale with my friend one time but I didn't buy nothing. I don't know how to negotiate a lower price because I never did that. I didn't find nothing in garage sale and I never buy something in garage sale in my life, because I don't like garage sale. I think reasons that people have garage sales is maybe because they want to have money or they like to sale. The most garage sale people doing in summer because summer is a good reason for that.

The garage sale is for selling extra stuffs used or new that somebody doesn’t need or doesn’t like. I think this is a very good idea and good cultural practice. We don’t have this practice in my country. I look for garage sale in our neighborhood on Saturdays. Usually I buy handyman tools from garage sale such as different kinds of saws, drill, sand, spanners, hammer, etc with low price. Also I buy some stuff which I need in the back yard such as shovels, mattock, etc. I think there are three reasons for having garage sale. The first reason is when a person collected some extra stuff at home that they don’t have enough space to put them. The second reason is that the seller can make money. Third reason is stimulating kids to do garage sale in this practice usually sales kid’s clothes and toys for fun. Also there is moving sale. People have moving sale because so they have to move far away and they have to sale all of stuffs which they don’t need. also carrying stuff is very difficult and too expensive. And last one is state sale. When somebody passes away, his/her children sell everything that they are sometime antiques. I think summer and fall are good season for having garage sale because in winter and spring it is rainy and they cannot show everything to customers.

Garage sales are a good way to get rid of clothes, furniture and stuffs that we do not need anymore and in the same time they are very helpful for people who need them and do not have a lot of money. The garage sales are mostly taking place during the second half of spring, summer and the beginning of fall.

Garage sale is for a situation when we have a lot of stuff that we don’t use or we don’t need and we want to give it away. We don’t have garage sale in our country. I usually negative with the seller and they always give the staff for lower price. I found some antiques in garage sale or some decorations. My husband usually buys something in garage sale but I only buy if I like it. People have garage sale because they want to organize their house and they don’t have space in their house or because they want to move out to small house. Sometimes people have garage sale because their kids grew and they don’t need some of the stuff.

In my country there was not garage sale. I first saw it in the U.S. In my country people were buying only necessities. Here, in the U.S. people can afford to buy themselves what they want. It so happens that people buy things they do not always enjoy. Some people want to have the most modern things. Some people buy a lot of things on sale without regard to the need of these things. Therefore, accumulated a lot of unnecessary things, from which have to get rid of eventually. But, many things are in good condition can still be useful to someone. Thus, people help each other. At first, when I came to the U.S., I also enjoyed shopping of garage sale. Then I made garage sale myself. And I understood, that some people get from it just a fun.

A garage sale is a sale that some people organize for sell variety of things that they don’t use them. In my country, we don’t have garage sales. I never stopped at a garage sale in this country because I don’t have the opportunity and personally I don’t like to buy second hand stuff, but I think that if someone needs to buy something is a good option. Some reasons that people have garage sales are to get money and to get rid of things that they don’t use. The garage sales usually are in spring and summer.

A garage sale is the best way to sale your extra stuff from your house. It is a very helpful thing for people. In my country we didn’t have garage sale. We didn’t change our houses and we didn’t need it. Here I’ve been only for eight years but I moved already four times. It’s bad thing that people don’t have own houses and have to move. But garage sale is good because when we move in another house something doesn’t fit and we need to buy another stuff and old one we can sale on garage sale. Also we can buy something on garage sale for very chip price. Usually, I don’t go to buy on garage sale, I don’t like it because it takes a lot of time and also much gas for car.

In my definition a garage sale is happen when people have some extra stuff they don't need it , they sale it , on front of their house .In my country we don't have a garage sale ,if we have extra stuff we give it to poor people .Best things you can do it to get good price , go to garage sale and look about what you need from ther , then collect it , ask how much the total ? after that ask for discount , finally tell hem/her how much you want to buy it ,in that way the owner should agree about your price .When i came to the USA my friend took me to a garage sall was in roseville , I bought from ther a bed by $ 50 it was a great deal .I like to go to a garage sale , but i buy what I need if it's in a good price only .Many reasons make people do a garage sale such as . First, if they have stuff they don't need it . Second , if people move from big house to smaller house , and the new small house doesn't has rooms for all of that stuff .Definitely the best season for a garage sale is summer

A garage sale is a yard sale that people sell the stuff that they don't need.They don't even need a licence for that and they don't collect taxes.The goods are sometimes new, like-new, or just usable, offered for sale because the owner does not want or need the item, to minimize their possessions, or to raise funds.Nobody has garagesales in my country.Inever go to garage sales.The reason people make garage sales is that they could sell the stuff they dont need anymore.Sometimes they help poor people with those money.

Garage sale is when people want to sell things they don't need anymore. People don't want to keep these things so they sell them on garage sale. Usually it's very cheap to buy things on garage sale in USA. Once I bought a very beautiful baby bassinet for very low price. Sometimes people can give you nice things for free because they son't need them anymore. It's good deal to buy things on garage sale. In my country we don't have garage sale. When someone wants to sell something he put an ad in newspaper. But it's not cheap. It's just a little cheaper than a new thing. So people prefer to buy new things.

It's a good oportunity for bargain hunters.In my coutry we haven't garage sale, but if we have somethink to sale we let to know our family,friends and neighborhood.If you wont to sell whole you staff, there is a place call "baratillo"cheap staff.I still stopped in same of them;I always go cheap for to get what I wont, if not I make a trade.The reason people have garage sale,the mostly is when they are moving to other house,and they don't wont to carryout some staff.There is another reason people have garage sale, is when they are separated or divorced and they don't wont to know about their staff.I think the good season is Sumer and Fall.

I believe a garage sale is where people use their own houses to sale things that they do not need or they do not want anymore. In my country it is not common to have garage sales but I know some people are doing it more nowadays. I have stopped at a garage sale in this country and I had a garage sale at my own house. I really like garage sales because I believe I am a good negotiator and I always find good deals. Last weekend I went to a garage sale and I found a new rocking chair for my daughter Mia and it was in the original box. I paid only four dollars for the chair. Then I went to look online to find the original price for the chair and the price was sixty dollars. I think it was an excellent deal. If I go to a garage and I find something that I like and think I would need I usually buy it. I believe the main reason people have garage sales is to sale things that they do not need, but I also believe people have garage sales when they have financial problems. The best seasons to have garage sales are at the end of spring, during the summer and the first weeks of fall.

Garage sale is when people want to simplify and get rid of some of their used things. A garage sale gives people the opportunity to sell household items that they no longer need or use. In my country we don't have garage sales, when somebody wants to sell something that not used or not need. We have places on one day of the week where people bring their used items to sell. In this country, especially in the spring and summer, a lot of people have garage sales. I would like stop at garage sale some time, because some friends told me that I could find many useful and inexpensive things to buy.

Garage sale is when people sell their stuff in front yard of their house. Usually people do this when they move to a smaller place or when they have to much stuff and want to get rid of some things, I like garage sales and try to go sometimes. We find good deals like a lawn mower,a picture frame fo a few dollars and a vintage orange juicer bout 12$. For me it is good deal.
