Reading Practice A. Read the passage. Shopping for Great Value Garage sales are a fun and convenient way to find incredible things. You might find an item of great value wrapped in a piece of old cloth or packed in a broken box. But do not get too excited. You need to be careful not to get tricked. Some people will sell broken goods at their garage sales. Look carefully if you do not want to be disappointed or waste a single penny. A smart customer will avoid low-quality goods. I have found many things at garage sales. Once, I found two medium-sized chairs with an attractive pattern on them. I paid a total of $15 for them. But when I looked on the Internet, I discovered something. The real value of my chairs was $200!
