Texoma Trade Days
from Garage Sales Unhinged · host Garage Sales Unhinged
Podcast hosts Julie and Jake describe a field report from Texoma Trade Days, held at a run-down, mostly abandoned “ghost mall” with an eerie backrooms vibe. They recount meeting a wide variety of vendors—from casual yard-sale style setups to curated booths—and talking with longtime resellers and people who transitioned from corporate careers, emphasizing how secondhand markets help reconnect with community. Julie buys three items: an oversized dental model mouth she plans to turn into wall art (possibly with a gold tooth and tongue), a D.A.R.E. button that sparks memories of the school anti-drug program and its officer-led presentations, and a dozen unwashed farm-fresh eggs, prompting an explanation of why unwashed eggs can sit out and how refrigeration helps for poaching. They also note vintage childhood items, old tech like an eight-inch floppy disk and a Nokia brick phone, Star Wars-themed suit, and unsettling war memorabilia.
