HereÂ’s an infographic detailing the history of garage sales, and how to make the most out of yours. Rummage sales started out in the 1500Â’s as ship captains would sell off extra or unclaimed cargo from their most recent voyage. By the 1800Â’s these sales had moved to churches as a fundraising activity. By 1940Â’s, you could find garage sales in every neighborhood, every weekend. The internet has even jumped in on the action, with websites that help individuals advertise their garage sales.
