'[The seller] shrugged, laughed, and said it wasn't his problem': Yard sale turns dramatic when a shopper's 'pile' gets sold to someone else, so he de-fames the entire operation as revenge

If you're an upcycler, a trinket-lover, or an antique aficionado, you've probably perused a garage sale or two. The thrill of a real-life treasure hunt is a visceral experience and the satisfaction you feel when you find just the perfect item is priceless. However, there are rules in the scavenging business–and when garage sale etiquette is breached, there could be some expensive consequences. 

The garage sale shopper in our next story was confronted with a dilemma after shopping around a decent yard sale. Buried deep in the sticks away from the street, the original poster (OP) only found the garage sale because of a series of signs leading from the street. Once he arrived, he noticed a few shoppers and a lot of great finds to purchase, so he started a pile of things he was going to buy. 

Well, even after being asked to protect those items from being sold off to someone else, the seller decided to get a quick buck from another buyer, selling the man's pile with no remorse. Keep scrolling to read the entire story of how this petty neighbor got some good revenge on a seller who didn't respect the rules of the yard sale.
