In general the social aspect of treasure hunting presents an interesting contrast with the greater ‘greed’ of solitary treasure hunting. A favorite activity of mine and my gf’s is scavenging for hippie Christmas treasures and I think part of what makes it fun is Treasure Fit.

I want to enjoy treasure hunting. This is what garage sales are for. ...and yet all the garage sales I go to are [ full of ] garbage.

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
