Talk:Garage sale

message: The article says, towards the end:
:The cultural phenomenon of garage and yard sales in the United States
Is this mainly a US thing?  If so, we should probably mention it in the lead.  I don't recall ever seeing them in England, anyway.  The Wednesday Island (talk) 20:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  US-specific? 

message: I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be having this discussion; however, being new to Wiki, I could not find a link "talk" on the article "Garage Sale".  I am the user that added the link to Garage Sale Tracker.  I added my link because I feel that this Wiki article and my website strive for the same goals.  This article was written with the intent to inform visitors about what a garage sale is.  Well as this blog will be read by both novice and seasoned garage sale shoppers, I feel that not only should they be informed about what a sale is but what tool to use to find a sale.  My website, Garage Sales Tracker, was designed to facilitate visitors to finding and listing sales.  Therefore, I believe it would be a great addition to this blog.  Please respond even if you do not consider adding my link to this article. Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slightstk (talk • contribs) 21:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Appending to articles

message: I do think that www.garagesalestracker.com should be an external link as it provided information and tips on garage sales and is also a place to advertise garage sales. If you disagree than I believe an encyclopedic article should be created for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charto911 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Garage Sales Tracker

message: If garage sale tracker is appropriate for this page, I, too, would like to add www.garagesalecow.com to the site. Garage Sale Cow has several of the features and benefits of garage sale tracker and so its relevance to this article is similar.
How do we go about getting a "ruling" on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GibraltarInteractive (talk • contribs) 19:10, 25 February 2009  (UTC)

thread_title: Garage Sale Cow

message: The 2nd para of the lead starts off with "Staples of garage sales include...lawn and garden tools (UTC)...". Maybe my brain isn't working today, but I have no idee what that UTC means in this context. Anyone? And can we make it more obvious in the article please? HiLo48 (talk) 07:36, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time and it was added with this edit by mistake when the user added his signature to his edit, which automatically appends "UTC" at the end, and forgot to remove it. Noone has caught it until you brought it up now. I removed it. -- œ™ 05:19, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
