History of Garage Sale DayGarage Sale Day was created in 2001 by C. Daniel Rhodes of Alabama in the U.S. after he witnessed his neighbors hold garage sales literally every weekend. But before you head out to shop from a garage sale or host one of your own, here is the interesting history of where garage sales originated from and how they became so popular. In the 1890s, garage sales were known as rummage sales and held in a community almost every week. The sales, however, were hosted by churches or charitable organizations with the motive of generating money for those in need. By the 1950s and 1960s, the popularity of these sales escalated and yard sales were conducted by residents of communities who needed cash or wanted to get rid of certain household items. This was mainly because consumerism had increased during this time period and many individuals wanted to dispose of old household goods in order to purchase more modern versions. So instead of simply throwing away things, people started hosting garage sales for neighbors. In 1990, the City Wide Garage Sale was held in California — an event that now takes place semi-annually and is heavily advertised. In fact, garage sales are now marketed by almost everyone by using newspaper ads, signs outside houses, posters, or on the internet. This has led to an increase in countrywide garage sales and each year Americans hold an estimated 6.5 to nine million garage sales yearly. Do you know what that means? You can hold one of your own too!
