Learning to Let Go: The Psychology of Garage Sales

By Liz Bulkley on Wednesday, August 22, 2007.

Holding a garage sale can be lots of fun, but it can be a little tough, too. It's not always easy to sell your personal belongings, especially the ones that have emotional significance. In the second half of the Front Porch's mini-series on garage sales, we look at the psychological aspects of them. We'll talk about the best way to let go of your belongings and whether you really should let go of them at all. And we'll hear from NHPR listeners who shared their best garage sale stories with us.

We're joined by G.G. Carbone, author of How to Make Fortune with Other People's Junk. We'll also hear from Tara Mahady, who recently held her first sale.

Be sure to check out the Front Porch Goes Garage Sale Hunting page, where you can find photos, more audio, and an essay by New Hampshire writer Elissa Paquette.
