Secondhand First: Embracing the Yard Sale Lifestyle
Whether you're a lifelong bargain hunter or are new to the world of yard sale shopping, this book shares tips, tricks, and a little tongue-in-cheek humor about the Saturday morning brigade who make the secondhand world go round. From how to find sales to how to shop sales to how to host your own yard sale, from the introduction to the resource section, you'll enjoy the author's humor, snark, and secret insider tips on how to make the most of what other people are selling.
After 25 years of perusing other people's stuff, it was inevitable that this book must be created and released to the world. How to negotiate, how to spot the diamonds in the coal, and above all, how to park to not look like a jerk, you'll enter a world of thrifting that drifts through clothing, furniture, kids' gear, gardening and tools, pet stuff, and holiday decor. More importantly, you'll learn what to do with all the treasures you find including how to clean, repair, and actually use your curated collections.
Most importantly, once you begin to put the advice to good use, you'll see your dollar begin to stretch farther than you thought it could. Retail is so last millennium and any deal is a good deal if you purchase thoughtfully. This book shows you how.
You'll even find an appendix with step-by-step instructions on how to host the perfect yard sale along with a resource section to find apps, evaluation sites, and links to discussion groups. By the end of the book, you will have embraced the yard sale lifestyle (if you aren't already a Saturday morning saler) and learned the value of shopping Secondhand First.
