Same here. But then I haven't actually tried any here. When I lived in FL putting out a table with a handful of old bottles was considered a garage sale. I know a lady who does the sales and gets old sewing machines. Her husband refurbishes them and then she gives the away. Guess I'll have to look around here and see what's out there, here being Phoenix.

Several years back Mom and I went to a garage sale. A quilt frame was listed along with magazines, fabrics,books ect.We were early.A friend was there looking at antiques and said ; 'you're a little early for the sale are't you?'Loudly, I said' this sale has what I am looking for, and at a price I'm willing to give.' The lady giving the sale said, 'Looks like we have customers, lets open early'.
I bought my Hinenburg[West Bend,Wisc.]quilting hoop for $40.00.She also had fabric on the table that was to be inserted into ziploc bags for .25 cents. Mom said ,'What are you doing?' 'I'm going to purchase all these pieces and put them in these bags, just like the sign says; but we have to hurry. Other people will be coming'.
I paid around $75.00 for my magazines, fabric, scraps[fill a bag], quilting hoop; all sold even before the sale was supposed to start.

What a nice haul. Never find anything like that here. Hope to catch some good finds in Chicago and nearby cities when I go home for three week in July.
