Overpriced Yard sales and garage sales

I live near Niles, Ohio and this weekend that just passed the city had a town wide yard sale going on for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Having not been to a yard sale in years and on a tighter budget at the moment I thought I'd check it out.

After going to this community yard sale and garage event I'm just blown away at how much people are charging for used second hand items. A few years back I remember yard sale prices for clothing being 10¢,25¢,and 50¢. I saw a pair of little boys size 6/7 used bike sweatpants at one yard sale for $8. I can't even believe this, mind you they are cheaper brand new on Amazon. I'm literally at a loss for words over all these people trying to make a huge profit off of something that could greatly help those that really need it and can't afford to pay retail prices.
