I feel your pain. Its the start of yard/garage sale season and I cannot resist following every cardboard sign to its source, hoping to score some nice blade. Of course its almost always the usual selection of manky old clothes, tarnished glassware stained kids' toys, and ancient electronics. I swear, why do people devote their entire weekend to sitting in their garage next to their trash? I guess its because fools like me drive by.
If I've learned anything it's to steer a course for the Estate sales and generally avoid the garage/yard sales.
