Thrift stores specifically in towns with lots of old people. Far from the interstate. They die and nobody wants their stuff so it usually ends up just circulating through the community. They reach that "fully picked over" state, except for usually the vinyl records.

Also, army surplus stores in towns that have bases. Military-grade generally means terrible quality but there's lots of $20 steeltoe boots that will last longer that equivalent priced shoes from a bigbox store. And it's in a town with a base, it will be cheaper because they're always throwing away shit. I had a friend growing up who would dumpster dive the craziest stuff

Sadly fb marketplace. They have it all. Ive spent and sold thousands of dollars there.

They no doubt will make it a paid thing soon or require video I'd to log in, then I'm done with it.

Internet ruined garage sales. Havent been to a good one since maybe 04. Theyre all shit now and overpriced.

Never been scammed. I don't respond to shady people and I meet them at a busy gas station.
