3. Electrical objects

With the advances in technology, it is normal that people will end up with more and more things to get rid of as they update their electronics. This means that, compared to a few years ago, electrical objects are going to be more and more often seen at yard sales. And this is one of the reasons why they make our list of garage sale items to avoid!

The reason why these electrical items should not be purchased, no matter how tempting that small price tag may be, is that sometimes the deal is too good to be true. When it comes to kitchen items, you cannot know if the items you purchase are actually going to work properly or if they are going to lead to you having to rewire your home due to an accident.

Unless you like to pick these up apart or you are lucky enough to find a brand new item, we recommend you keep away from these items!

    Glad I took the time to read this, two items I had not processed and might have been tempted, if Garage Sales was one of my pastimes. They are the Pots and Pans and the Electrical items. I would have thought that with the pots and pans you get the heat hot enough to take care of any germs and I just had not thought about Electrical accidents. Thank you.
