Unusual and Weird Types of Garage Sales

What weird types of sales are calling you in?




I thought I'd go over some unusual types of sales in this post. With just a stream-of-consciousness type of style here.

I know last summer (or sometime last year) I went to a garage sale that had an unusual type of advertisement. Although they did place an ad, the main advertisement was a person dressed up in a costume (I believe it was a dinosaur πŸ‰ or other animal) and they were on a main road near the sale calling people in, waving a sign. This had to take a lot of guts. It was very whimsical and different, indeed. 

I've attended some sales that were a little unusual. I've seen people selling things out of their trucks and cars, vans, campers, etc. Even with a furry friend hanging out the window to help them call in customers.🐢 I've seen someone selling a few things rather close to the hood of their car, and some things, I believe, were on top of it, but no one was out there to attend to the sale, odd? 

In my many garage sale adventures, I've also attended and driven by other types of selling platforms that involve the outside of the house or shed (a drive-by type of sale that requires the faith system for payment). 

The faith system is usually a common jar with a slotted lid on it to collect the money, which is left out on its own near the goods. This style of sale included fresh produce, pasta sauce, and other types of foods, birdhouses, and bird food. I would really like to stop by the shed that had the decorated birdhouses.🐦It really looked like they had something going on there!

The other one, and maybe you have seen this in your travels as well, is the HONEY. 🍯 Oh, the honey that is sold in front of people's homes. I wonder how they make out with that. It is interesting though and very resourceful of those beekeepers.

I'm sure there are other weird ways to sell things out there and I hope you have your own weird experiences. 

You may always write in and tell me about it if you choose to. : ) 

Happy garage sale hunting, the summer has just begun! 



Yours truly,
