Garage sales are popular at present，but you need to keep an eye on those things and make  sure that you don't fall prey to bad deal．We’ve brought you a list of items that you should  stay away from at all times at a garage sale.

Item 1：Anything related to safety during sporting activities.

If you are new to adventure sports and want to save money on equipment like helmets，wet suits，climbing gears，etc．，you may go shopping at garage sales．However，remember that buying equipment which has been used takes a lot of risks，because the new buyer is unaware of its possible damage．To be safe，buy new equipment or rent it from stores．

Item 2：Anything related to babies．

Baby care items are certainly expensive and that’s why used goods are useful to most young parents．However，as a responsible parent，you will surely consider this a lot before making a decision．For example，stuffed toys may carry the bacteria，so you need to keep in mind that they may bring a health risk to your children．

Item 3：Anything that you sleep on．

Bedding items are a good place for all kinds of harmful insects．While garage sales may offer some tempting bargains，it is wise to stay away from them．If you really need to buy these，you must check on them thoroughly．

Item 4：Anything that requires a perfect fit．

Shoes tend to take the shape of the wearer’s feet after a while．So even if you see a pair of  shoes that is of the same size as yours，it may not fit you well. It is also recommended that you  should give old clothes a miss．

Garage sales are a lot of fun，as we all know．However，don’t be charmed(迷惑)into  buying something that you are unsure of．And save yourself from being at the receiving end of a  raw deal．(不公平的买卖)
