Buyers and sellers of used goods all over can have a tough time juggling all of the similar and regional terminology. At the end of the day, all we want to do is get together with our communities and help each other get rid of some old stuff, and fall in love with some cool new finds ourselves while we’re at it. So when it comes to using the correct terms, what’s the difference between a flea market and a garage sale, and does it really matter all that much?

Yard sales are not just wonderful places of communities, but they’re portals through time. You can find a practically brand-new set of golf clubs next to a couch from the 60’s and a coffee table from a century ago. Especially after shows like Pawn Stars, people are particularly excited to find old and valuable items at yard sales and, hopefully, make a pretty penny off of it.

Whether or not finding a particularly valuable antique at a yard sale is plausible is another question, but what about the words that people use to describe these items? Antique and vintage. At times, it can seem like these are just words people use to mean old. We’re here to tell you that that’s not exactly the case!

The yard sale: a decluttering wonder. Whether you’re about to move across state lines, about to graduate college, or just need to make some space in your house, the yard sale is a great way to quickly let go of lots of items, and make a pretty penny while you’re at it.

That being said, not every yard sale item is made equally. There are many tried and true favorites that tend to fly off the displays, but what are the items that never sell at yard sales? We’ve got the scoop.

Part of the allure of the all-powerful garage sale is that you never know exactly what you’re going to find. Your new favorite piece of jewelry, a priceless winter sweater, a beautiful set of dusty books—the possibilities are endless. And although the chances of you finding an immensely valuable piece of furniture on sale for a bargain price are quite low, they certainly aren’t zero!

So, what do you do if you find this ultra-valuable antique at a garage sale? Do you restore it, or do you leave it as is? Let’s take a look.

One thing’s for sure; furniture is always a hit at garage sales. It catches people’s eyes from across the street, it’s usually a bargain for pieces that are in relatively good shape, and even when something isn’t in great condition, it can be a fun DIY project to fix something up!

Sometimes, however, we get our hands on a fixer-upper excited to take on the project, but we hit a creative roadblock. You know that old wooden table has potential in your home, but you don’t know exactly what to do with it. Worry not! We have a few suggestions for refurbishing that old wood table you found at the garage sale.

Whether it be the allure of the stories they hold or the secret value they might be worth, there’s something about antique items that seems to pique our interest. Now, a garage sale probably isn’t where you’re going to want to be selling a treasured antique, and you probably aren’t going to find a treasured antique at just any garage sale, either. Nevertheless, antique items are consistently some of the most popular items at any sale. As we said, there’s just something about them!

Just like garage sales, however, not all antiques are created the same. Which ones tend to sell the best at garage sales? Let’s take a look.

One of the great joys of the yard sale is that you never know what you’re going to find. From your new favorite sweater, to the French press that becomes a staple in your everyday routine, to some novelty item that you didn’t think anybody else even cared about, the serendipity in the search is what it’s all about!

By the nature of the event, of course, a lot of the things we find and fall in love with are, well, old. Some of us like to say antique. After countless episodes of pawn shop shows, of course, a lot of people are on the prowl for particularly valuable antiques among our beloved yard sales. So, how likely are you to find a valuable show-stopper, and how can you go about properly restoring it? Let’s take a look!
