Consider the catchment area for the neighborhood. This is one reason cities are better: people’s garage sales potentially include stuff they got for lots of money or in different countries etc, rather than just used stuff from farm and fleet

absolutely the country is good, in many ways, but it also sucks, in many ways also: even if 1% of garage sales in the city are good and 99% suck, and same here, then there is 1 guaranteed good one w/i 10 miles of you every week; maybe 1 here per 2 years

The old estate sales my mom took me too had treasures. Not it’s mostly junk. The pickers have professionalized it for the good stuff and people but a lot of cheaply made junk anyway. (But for other reasons older antiques have gotten cheaper)
-
yep, that's my read there are phone apps to scan books for best resale values, etc. efficient market means treasure hunting less rewarding
