One resource I have just begun to utilize again is Craigslist. This site offers all sorts of items for sale and also offers a way to advertise garage sales. I used it last year to buy my son his bike for his birthday while we were having a no spending month.
I hadn't used Craigslist since then until recently. I used it just last week to find a crib for my youngest daughter (more on that coming later).
This past weekend, I went home to see my mom and wanted to hit some garage sales, but there were no good ones advertised in the newspaper. I decided to check Craigslist and found several advertised that were not in the newspaper. They also offered better descriptions than the newspaper of what they were selling, so I was able to target several that were selling kids' items.
I highly recommend utilizing Craigslist to find good quality used items. It works for me!
