Can you share some funny garage sale stories?

One horror story is finding a doll at a garage sale. It looked really creepy. When I got it home, strange noises started coming from it at night. I threw it out right away.

Sure. One funny garage story is about a guy who tried to fix his car's flat tire. He got all the tools out, but when he went to jack up the car, he realized he had the wrong size jack. So there he was, scratching his head, looking at the tiny jack and the big car.

One success story is a family who decluttered their attic. They sold old toys, antique furniture, and vintage clothes at their garage sale. They made over $500 and were able to use that money for a family vacation.

One story I heard was about a garage sale where a man was selling a pair of shoes that he claimed were 'lucky'. He said every time he wore them, something strange but good happened. He told a story about how once he wore them to a job interview and the interviewer was wearing the exact same shoes. They ended up talking about shoes the whole time and he got the job. It was such a random and funny story.

Sure. Once I went to a yard sale and saw an old typewriter. The owner said it was from the 1950s. He told me a story about how his grandfather used to write love letters to his grandmother on it. It was really sweet and made the typewriter seem so much more special.

Sure. There was a garage sale at the old Johnson's house. Mrs. Johnson had passed away and Mr. Johnson was moving to a smaller place. He put out all kinds of things from their long life together. A young girl named Lily stopped by. She saw an old, dusty diary. When she opened it, she found beautiful sketches of the town from decades ago. Lily bought it for a dollar. Later, she learned that the sketches were done by a famous local artist who had once lived in the Johnson's house as a tenant. It made her realize how many hidden treasures could be found at garage sales.

Sure. One garage success story is that of Apple. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple in a garage. They tinkered with electronics and came up with the idea for the Apple I computer. Their innovation and hard work in that small garage space led to the creation of one of the most valuable companies in the world today.

The 'Garage Sale Mystery' series by Susan Wittig Albert is also great. These stories are set in a small - town environment where garage sales are common. The mysteries usually involve antiques and family secrets that are gradually uncovered as the protagonist digs deeper into the items she finds at the sales. It's really engaging as it combines the everyday concept of garage sales with the intrigue of mystery - solving.

A friend of mine bought an old radio at a garage sale. When he turned it on at night, it started broadcasting some really strange and disturbing voices that didn't seem to be from any normal station. He unplugged it and never touched it again.

I don't know the specific 'Monkeys for Sale' funny story. But it might be about some comical situations like a person trying to sell monkeys in a really strange way, like dressing them up in funny outfits to attract customers.
