Clearing space, meeting faces, and letting go one item at a time.
This scenario explores the full experience of organizing and hosting a garage sale from your front yard. It’s a mixture of nostalgia, negotiation, and neighborly interaction. Items long tucked away in closets or basements are now displayed in the open, waiting for a new story. As cars pull up and strangers wander through your life’s leftovers, the experience becomes surprisingly social and occasionally sentimental.

Midday Browsing (10am–12pm): Slower traffic, casual conversation.
