I've been buying and selling for more than 2 decades and I've noticed a big change over the years with yard sales and flea markets.

It seems that people have cashed out anything of value (gold, silver, firearms, musical instruments, American-made hand tools, gas-operated lawn tools, vintage video games and consoles, etc) years ago. They've got nothing left but Shake-Weights, ratty pots and pans, useless old clothing that no one would ever wear and kids' movies on DVD.

It's pretty sad but it only makes sense that this would happen. People like me (resellers) have picked these folks clean over the years.

Also, it should come as no surprise that we can only find crap at yard sales and flea markets today when cheap Chinese products have flooded our markets for decades. When people buy new garbage at Walmart, you can't be shocked when they sell used garbage at yard sales.
