Default Economy and garage sales

There has been a significant decline in local garage sales both in their
number and in the quality of the stuff available compared with previous
years. Is this happening elsewhere? It seems like there was a lag of about a
year before the economy woes filtered down to the street level.

It's still a little early to tell, but I did OK Saturday - Channel
Lock ignition pliers and a new slightly abused Marples 1" wood chisel
with the original plastic guard for $1, 154 feet of 1/4" reinforced
vinyl air hose for $2, Electric knife for SWMBO $1, High quality
caulking gun with $6.99 price sticker still attached $1. Only problem
with the air hose is that I now need a garden hose reel, it is too
awkward to handle it otherwise and I don't want to cut it into shorter
lengths.
