It was a bit of a bust for me. The REI near me had no parking and all the nearby side streets were filled up too so I drove to the next nearest REI out in the suburbs. There wasn't very much of interest. I did end up buying a fire sparker with damaged packing. On my way home I did swing by the other REI but it was slim pickings by then. Past garage sales have had a lot more merchandise but I suspect that's because I usually go to the one in spring which has lots of Christmas returns. At least reading the return tags were worth a laugh. One person returned a bag because it had dog hair on it. That seems like a bit of an abuse of REI's liberal return policy.
