How to Spot Garage Sale Vultures

Because no one likes getting ripped off.

If you’re planning a garage sale soon, you may want to watch out for garage sale vultures! They’re resellers who spot valuable items and flip them for profit. And while their tactics aren’t illegal, you should be aware in case you’re holding onto something of value. These shoppers tend to be aggressive, buy in bulk, and may call ahead to get first dibs on your sale. They’re often looking for things like rare video games, comic books, and antiques sold for cheap. So if you spot any of these signs, you may want to reconsider your pricing!
