since when have "garage sales" ever been successful?

in popular culture, mostly movies the scenes depict garage sales as like big parties, and the owners making lots of money. I have passed about only like 5 garage sales in my lifetime and probably of the 5 times whenever I look they are always empty.

So really wat is the point of garage sales? Have you guys ever had a successful garage sale? Do you have to live in a populated active neighborhood? Whats up?

(random thread i know but deal with it)

You have to live in an area where there is alot of poor people willing to buy alot or useless crap 2nd hand.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona, alot of poor people around here....alot of mexicans (Dont take offense, there just is) and they like garage sales.

So I see garage sales alot on Saturdays, and they usually make good money down here.
