Ebay

I agree, if you're a buyer, you can find great deals. I love buying stuff on eBay. Selling, on the other hand, has only ever been worth it for us when selling computer equipment (which we have sold lots of, for reasonable amounts of money.) But, for example, a quick search on eBay for some of the items you mentioned:

There are only two used baby carseats currently listed. One starts at $5 and has no bids, and the other starts at $1 and has one bid.

There are several used bread machines listed, start prices ranging from $0.99 to $25.00. None have any bids--except for one. There is a particular used bread machine, a DAK brand model FAB-2000, which is already at $26.51 with multiple bidders. So it would seem if you could find that particular model at a garage sale, you might have something. But are you prepared to do that kind of research for every item you might find at a garage sale?
