Description:
Love finding bargains at garage sales, but don't know where you can use them? Or have you had a recent garage sale and have some really great stuff that just didn't sell? Here's the swap for you. You'll send 1 flat rate box crammed full of any of your bargains you either find at a garage sale or you would sell in your own garage/yard sale. Please nothing "junky" or stained in a bad way (other than great antiques that look awesomely worn). Check your partner's profile to see things they may want or need. Open to newbies and those with a rating of 4.5 or better. Please no flakers! Sorry, due to shipping costs, this is USA only. Let's keep the box size to a medium flat rate box, but you're free to send a large, just know that you may not get a large in return. Shipping tip: If you ship your flat rate box using online labels bought through USPS or Paypal shipping, the shipping is cheaper. !woot! :)

I am having my first garage sale in over 25 years next weekend. I will see what I have left before signing up. Good idea!

This sounds really neat, but I'm afraid of bringing more junk I don't need into the house when I already have lots of junk I need to get rid of, lol. Got it in my watch though and will see:)) I am truly a yardsale junkie!!!

Which size flat rate box?

mollycoddlesoap 06/13/2009 #

I think any size flat rate box would do - depends on the items you have. It is more expensive to ship a larger box, so maybe that would be a reason for people to give or receive a heart?

keep in mind that anything you get you can always donate to a thrift store or goodwill if you don't want it... :) Or send on during another swap or as a gift.

i collect a lot of stuff but what i may get back kind of scares me

this is a good one. My first swap was a thrift shop swap, I love used stuff. I have tons of things I can send if it matches my partners likes or it will give me a reason to shop garage that all over this time of year. Shh don't tell my family about this swap they might rent a POD and fill it up and have it shipped to my swap partner. Then I have to start over.

what size flat rate they come in 3 sizes small med and large. The prices can be a big diffrence if stuffing a large and get a small.

How about we limit the box size to a medium? If you feel compelled, you're welcome to send larger.

Are we going to choose collectables from profiles?

mollycoddlesoap 06/24/2009 #

Sharon, you can choose collectibles from profiles if you like, or send things that you found/have that you like. Just be sure they're something you think they would like! tHanks!

I can't wait to be at your garage sale, I just feel like I'm going to buy many things from you. While my initial goal was to find some information on garage door replacement, I ended up here. Can you please tell me what you'll be putting up for sale?
