What 3 Things You Should Never Buy at a New Jersey Yard Sale

May and June marks prime yard sale season in New Jersey. Discover hidden treasures but remember there are things the experts say never to buy at a yard sale.

The warmer weather is coming and of course that means yard sales and town-wide yard sales. I just have to tell you, I love a good yard sale.

Something about warmer weather and longer days makes people want to throw open the windows and spend hours deep cleaning and decluttering their homes. It's Yard Sale Season in New Jersey for the next couple of months.

I always say, let's have a yard sale and we never get it together, maybe this year. We always have stuff we want to get rid of, why not sell it.

There is some really good stuff out there. We find some great treasures every yard sale season. What is the saying? "One man's junk is another man's treasure." I totally agree.

These are the top 3 things you should stay away from even if the price is right.

#1 - Non-Stick Pots and Pans - Well, this one makes us question if it’s time to throw out the pans at our own home. Bob Vila’s website reveals that the coating that makes your omelets and pancakes slide so nicely onto a turner wears off in about three to five years. I am honestly thinking, did I ever buy any pots or pans at a yard sale, I think I might have.

#2 - Cosmetics - Ladies, I'd stay away from the used cosmetics. They have an expiration date on them and who knows if they've been used.

#3 - Mattresses - I'm not sure if I'd ever buy a used mattress. Just what if, they have bed bugs? And, plus maybe stains and odors you do not want to bring into your house.
