How long is too long for a garage sale?

Jake brings up an Edmonton man running a garage sale for three consecutive months that neighbors call an eyesore and are complaining about, prompting a discussion of rules around sale duration and permits. Julie explains that in Texas, even without municipal permitting, state law limits homeowners to no more than three sales in a 12-month cycle or they may be treated as a business, and notes a weekend sale counts as one. They share practical garage-sale tactics, end-of-day discounting, using a free box, donating leftovers, and briefly discuss haggling at local shops.
