Remember, anything that looks awful at a garage sale will also look awful when you get it home.
     And that goes double for the fat lady running the garage sale.

     Remember, never buy health insurance at a garage sale.

     Remember, it's convenient, but most garage sales will not lay-away merchandise for Christmas.

     Evidence is beginning to surface that there is only one set of junk for garage sales, and that it's rented out to a different family every Saturday from a central office in Peoria.

     Remember, to get the most out of a garage sale, decide in advance what you want to buy and how much you want to spend. Then stay home and hold your own garage sale.

     Remember, the basic philosphy behind garage sales is that, if you can't possibly give something away, you can probably sell it.
