Clothes at Garage Sales

In our recent community-wide garage sale, I noticed the neighbors across the street had clothing out for sale. People stopping there were fighting over them. Nobody even looked at what I had. I also was wondering why people will buy baby and kid's clothes at a garage sale but no one buts adult clothes.

Maybe because most people know their kids sizes but for themselves aren't sure if it will fit them or once they have it on will like the style. As for me,if I like it I buy it. It is usually dirt cheap anyway so if it doesn't fit,no great loss. Sometimes I get buttons off of the item or resell it at my own sale if possible.

Kids outgrow clothing quickly, so much of it can be almost like new. Adults are more likely to wear it out or get tired of it. Were you selling like new, fashionable clothing?
