On weekend mornings in suburbs throughout the world, people scurry like ants through the piles of clothes, neatly arranged cups marked with price dots, second-hand VCRs and slightly scratched
CDs that they find at garage sales, looking for something that might prick their interest, usually without a clue, before they find it, what it might be. The authors of Buyers, Sellers and
Dealers, Anthony De Leo, Toby Richardson and Scott Carslake, have provided a photographic catalog of some of the objects that buyers might come across at any given sale—dusty shoes pulled
from the back of the closet, underused but old exercise equipment, the like—as well as signs drawn and painted by sellers. Combining the photos with the words of these modern-day
hunter-gatherers, patrons of the garage sales, Buyers, Sellers and Dealers provides a glimpse of this quintessential suburban phenomenon in all its dusty, hand-drawn quirkiness.
