Good to see bigcajunwife visiting as well. I personally hate garage sales. I think that they're a way for transferring useless items from one house hold to another. I am grateful that my wife doesn't care for them either. Despite the garage salers making some money from the sale of their junk, I think that the junk should be taken over to salvation army, or value village etc and let those who really need the stuff get it for free or for cheap.

They should have presented a list of all the Canadian financial blogs because each one is a gem and the writers should be appreciated for their effort.

On the subject of getting rid of extra kiddie equipment, I think it would be a good idea to set up a garage sale in a newer neighbourhood. If you have a friend running a garage sale in a new neighbourhood, you could bring a carload of kiddie stuff over to take advantage of the ready supply of parents of young children. It was nearly impossible to sell kiddie equipment in my area once all the families started to grow up. Everyone was trying to sell the same stuff and there were few buyers. Thanks for the link.

With the kids growing up, we have tons of kiddie equipment to get rid of. Thanks for the link. And IMO, Michael James should be on the list as well. Cheers!

Update on De-Crapification, I decided to fight back and have brought an old TV, and some other crap to the Church Gar(b)age sale, and thus have a net negative garage sale effect! --C8j Agreed, I think your piece was quite good.

I don't think buying a house with no down payment is preferable but in some cases it is better to worry less about the down payment and more about the payments. Mike Hey, thanks a lot for the link!
