* People selling clothes that had been rained on, tromped into the mud, an then spread out on a chainlink fence.

* At least one towel that looked like it came from the 60's that had a curious-looking stain on it for $3. THREE DOLLARS!

* Flea-market booth owners acting as if the world will end if they don't get just one more quarter off of the price.

* Bad ass kids breaking shit as their parents looked on, oblivious.

* Random lids. No containers to go with them, just LIDS.

* A homemade recliner. HOME. MADE. RECLINER.


Can anyone share the strangest things they have seen at garage sales so that I don't feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone?! LOL
