When you go garage sale-ing...what do you look for?

[Leave a Whisper]

Toys
Figurines
Gifts for other people
videogames
weapons

Lately I've been looking for bookshelves because I can't get any new ponies or action figures or even books without a taller one. I have no more space *sniffles* all those ponies and books taunting me to buy them. Gonna stick old bookshelf in daughters room

The only reason I even stop at a yard sale or garage sale is for ponies. If I find other 80s toys I collect I may pick them up.

As of now, I'm mostly on the lookout for my little ponies.
jewelry- especially necklaces
Monster High
Plastic dogs

Oh! And teacups for my portfolio
Plush dogs have also been known to sway me

I usually look for:

- ponies (obviously)

- books

- DVDs

- mugs (but only if they're in very good condition, as I do want to be able to use them)

I sometimes buy other things as well, of course, but that's what I'm actively keeping an eye open for.

g1 ponies, g3s with bait potential (but iv got so many and haven't made a custom in years, so i usually leave them behind now)
I also casually keep an eye out for any pokemon, old polly pockets, littlest petshop, any llama related thing lol. ooold books, and i also really love small oddly shaped bottles.

There is so much absolute junk around here that I only look for ponies, and even then it's just G1's or G2's.  G3's or G4' would most likely be in pretty rough shape so I only look for baits, and sometimes even the baits are too baity to use! 

I will pick up other vintage toy stuff for my etsy shop, but as I said it's all mostly junk around here so I would have to get extremely lucky to find something salvageable.  I'll buy video games if they're cheap and have the boxes, and my husband collects older Sierra/Learning Company/Dynamix/Cocktel Vision games so I keep an eye out for those too.

For myself, I keep a special eye out for anything Pony, Pokemon, Lion King, Monster HIgh, or Harry Potter.

I also keep an eye out for vintage toys and things that I think I'll be able to profit on.
