Summer is going to be ending soon, and having lived in Dearborn a while now, I've noticed two things: 1.) Dearborn has some competently average, well-run garage sales and estate sales. 2.) Towards about this time, interest in sales wind down, and the ones still running seem to only carry things they couldn't get rid of at the last ones held.

I just want to know if folks have interesting stories about garage sales or estate sales they've been to in the Metro Detroit area and surrounding suburbs, if they've ever acquired some cool finds [[boast em' if you got them), if they ever notice a difference in quality of sales in certain areas, if they ever notice different [[peculiar) habits of those running sales, if they have horror stories from sales they held, or if they've ever seen the sprawling fanatical group of folks who travel about hitting up various publicized estate sales like they were following the Grateful Dead.
