I can see why they'd do that if they can get the $$$$ BUT wouldn't it have been better to tell the folks to come 1st thing in the morning and make it fair? Maybe I'm out of touch here. I've had plenty of garage sales in my day but generally do it this way...people in my area would state "no early sales"!
I guess they wanted to sell their "stuff" and they had a chance to see and did.
Fair to who?
