Those are okay because I can usually see the potential. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-107039 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:24:38 +0000 regberadaisy 107039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy:<br /> I totally started re-reading it last year when they came to ebooks. hehe</p> <p>@aMohror:<br /> aww..vintage Dr. Seuss books sound awesome. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106959 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:29:02 +0000 BSB 106959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106956 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:27:59 +0000 aMohror 106956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I definitely have seen books from both of those series! You have plenty of time to find them too ;) Right now besides old books we have been trying to collect all the different Dr.Seuss books for our baby girl! We have found some pretty old ones which is just so awesome! Also, I keep finding ones I've never even heard of which is pretty neat too! We've gotten many of her books from garage sales as well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106744 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:20:49 +0000 heffalump 106744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom came home with lots of clothes for LO... for just $5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106595 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:49:33 +0000 MsMamaBear 106595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I love them! If I wasn't Team Green I would have gotten Baby Bear a TON of little boots and shoes at one we went to last year. I still get sad about those little boots.LOL</p> <p>I like to go to certain neighborhoods to find stuff...i.e. the ones with the good stuff!LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106565 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:34:49 +0000 polkadots 106565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love garage sales. I don't usually buy things there unless I absolutely want it but I love to browse and its something to do on a saturday morning!! I'm actually hitting up an event called "The mother of all garage sales" this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106502 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:53:51 +0000 joyjoy 106502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH loves garage sales, estate sales and antique shows. He's always on the lookout for old toys and things to collect/sell. I've gotten a lot of our art by hanging out with him and purchased the majority of the Brownies in my old camera collection from garage sales.</p> <p>@regberadaisy: I had the whole collection of The Boxcar Children, but I lent it to my cousin years ago. I should ask my aunt if she still has it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106480 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:44:19 +0000 volksgirl64 106480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't garage sale really, but we DO consignment sales a few times a year. It's SUCH a great way to stock up on the next season of clothes for DD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106471 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:41:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 106471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t go to garage sales a lot because I don’t have the time to, but I have gotten some great vintage books for super-cheap at garage sales and turned around and sold for a very decent profit online so I do like when that happens!</p> <p>I have started keeping my eyes out for garage sales with lots of baby gear. I already got a brand new looking changing table/dresser and changnig pad for $100 (that retails for $499 and looks brand new, and over $100 for the pad), and $130+ worth of Avent bottles for $40 on craigslist. Used clothes don’t bother me – just wash them and they are the same as clothes that have never been worn before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106455 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:36:03 +0000 regberadaisy 106455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aMohror:<br /> I LOVED The Boxcar Children and Babysitter's Club as a child. I'm hoping to find the whole set cheap at garage sales for our daughter! I still have quite a few years till she's old enough for them! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106448 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:34:50 +0000 aMohror 106448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby and I Love going to garage sales in the summer! He's a HUGE book guy so we are always looking for old books :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106446 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:34:42 +0000 heffalump 106446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: What a fun job for your aunt. I'd love to shop garage sales for a living! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106440 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:33:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 106440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt is the queen of garage sales, she just asked me if there is anything I wanted her to keep an eye out for. She owns a used high end home furniture store and is always in the nicer nieghborhoods looking for stuff! If she can find gently used stuff I'm all for it, she has amazing taste and a good eye! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106438 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:33:27 +0000 regberadaisy 106438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love garage/estate sales!<br /> But only stuff that we can fix up not clothes. Like home decor stuff. </p> <p>"One man's trash is another man's treasure!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106437 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:33:04 +0000 heffalump 106437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Love hand me downs! I never say no to free clothes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106434 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:32:11 +0000 chopsuey 106434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I don't mind never worn with tags ;) but I stopped receiving hand me downs many many years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106432 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:30:57 +0000 heffalump 106432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Lol, I don't mind used. Especially when it's from someone I know. And especially when I know that this person probably wore the things once, if at all. She used to always clean out her closet and give my sister clothes with the tags still on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106430 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:28:58 +0000 chopsuey 106430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! I don't like used stuff.. :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shop-at-garage-sales-a-lot#post-106428 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:28:37 +0000 heffalump 106428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our friend is having a garage sale today. My mom took LO.... I'm hoping she comes back with some good stuff! This friend has very good taste and loves to shop, so I know she'll have cute clothes. She also has a 2 1/2 year old girl so I also know that she'll have some cute things for my LO. </p> <p>I don't usually stop at garage sales unless I know that I need something. </p>
