By visiting a garage sale you can buy things at a cheaper price and might get something that you desire at an incredible price and in an exceptional condition. Who knows! But, hold your thoughts for a bit, because before you march into a garage sale, there are a few things you should actually avoid buying.
Let’s have a look on which items you should avoid and why?
Don't Buy These Things From Garage Sales:
You can buy various items from a garage sale, but if you have these things in your list, then it will be good for you if you remove it from your list.
1. Prams for Kids:
Children prams are great, but what if it is damaged from somewhere and the damage is quite minor and invisible? It might be possible that even the seller is not aware of it. In this case, the probability of risk of kids falling or getting harmed increases.
So, instead of buying the pram from garage sales, it is better to buy a brand new pram from the store. If it is in good condition or a new one but no use for the seller, then you can buy it from there too. But before buying check each side of the pram properly.
2. Helmet:
Helmets are obviously necessary, but buying one from garage sales are not that much effective as the used helmets might contain hair remains and sweat bacteria. Another thing is, you don’t know how much life of that helmet is remaining, whether it will be able to protect your head in accidents or it will break itself. It’s a mystery!!
3. Baby Bottles:
Never buy a baby bottle from any garage sale because here the question is about sanitation and cleanliness. You should be very particular about your kid’s clothes, cosmetics, and vessels. Always prefer to buy new baby items instead of using used ones.
4. Makeup Products:
Using other’s makeup brushes or products can cause infections on your face or body and being a woman you will never want to entertain any skin infections, correct? So, buying a used makeup box from a garage sale is a bad idea.
5. Hats:
Going to a shop and buying a brand new hat will be more appreciated instead of buying one from a garage sale. The hat available at a garage sale may be unhygienic to use. So, dropping the idea of buying a hat from the garage sale will be good.
6. Body Products:
You must steer clear about not buying anybody products or bath products from the garage sale, even if they are selling them at a cheap rate.
It is always unhygienic to use other’s body products as it can cause various types of infections to baby’s skin. It’s always best to buy a brand new one for a better baby care!
