    Introduction

    Once upon a time, it was very common for us to spend our weekends, going around to yard sales and garage sales, because in our city it has been the norm for the 85 years of its existence. Weekends means empty out your garrets/cellars and garage especially when you are doing your spring cleaning, and selling all the junk which has been accumulated there.

    As the city grew and more families arrived there to set up house, and settle down, especially, as this was a “Made to Order” city made for retired defense personnel, and retired senior level government officials, it was a given, that one could find some amazing treasures, collected through a lifetime of traveling all over the globe, being sold in junk yard sales.

    That was the place where everybody learned how to bargain. That was the place when anybody could know that he could get something he had always wanted, on his limited paycheck. And that was our weekly social club, where the visitors were told where the next junk sale would be, in whose garage, the next week, and to pass the word on through word-of-mouth.

    The sellers had one full week in which to decide whether they wanted something or some gewgaw could be put in the junk yard sale pile.

Weekends means empty out your garrets/cellars and garage especially when you are doing your spring cleaning, and selling all the junk which has been accumulated there.

      As the city grew and more families arrived there to set up house, and settle down, especially, as this was a Made to Order city made for retired defense personnel, and retired senior level government officials, it was a given, that one could find some amazing treasures, collected through a lifetime of traveling all over the globe, being sold in junk yard sales.

      The sellers had one full week in which to decide whether they wanted something or some gewgaw could be put in the junk yard sale pile.

      By the end of the day, the exhausted seller was happy that he had made an extra profit, because he had already got rid of all that accumulated clutter, packed away in crates, trunks, and boxes during the travels, to be opened only when one finally retired, in one place and put his feet up, literally and figuratively.

      And if the buyers had some time left over in the day, instead of going straight home, they went around looking for the weekly clearance sales, where they could get things at vastly reduced prices or at a discount.

      These junk yard sales were for all those people, who were building their houses, and had
