Forget overpriced plastic junk and clutter-causing impulse buys. In this episode, I’m revealing one of my favorite secret sources for high-quality, imagination-boosting toys: estate sales.
I’ll walk you through why these hidden-in-plain-sight sales are a goldmine for classic toys that actually last, what to look for (and what to avoid), and exactly how to find estate sales near you. Plus, I’ll share how they totally outshine garage and yard sales when it comes to toy treasure hunting.
Perfect for parents who love a good deal and want playthings with real value, this episode will change how you think about secondhand shopping—and might just become your new Saturday morning ritual.
What You’ll Discover:
- The difference between estate sales, garage sales, and yard sales
- Why older toys are often better toys
- What I skip and what I grab (with stories!)
- Tools and tips to estate sale like a pro
- A simple weekend challenge to kickstart your hunt
Ready to score toys that last and play that matters? Let’s go treasure hunting.
