The original intent of the 2008 Garage Sale Challenge was to document sales of items purchased at garage sales and thrift shops, but I’ve received several emails from Auction Rebel readers who wanted to participate but saying there were few, if any, garage sales or thrift shops in their area. These readers asked if other inventory sources could be used.
Since my goal for the Challenge is to show that, contrary to what a lot of people say, selling used merchandise is a viable way to make money on eBay; and, since so many people have expressed interest in other inventory sources, the rules regarding Challenge inventory will be changed.
All inventory purchased from garage sales, thrift shops, estate sales, auctions, used book sales, flea markets, swap meets, antique shops, and pawn shops will be eligible.

Gary,
I think this will be a better challenge with a wider variety of merchandise and hopefully more participants.
Good Luck Everybody!!
