A garage and yard sale enthusiast. A person who spends their weekends driving around looking for "diamond in the rough" items at garage and yard sales.

A term applied to traditional real estate licensees who both list houses for sale and also sell them.

Different from the strict buyer's agents or seller's agent.

A woman who negotiates the "sale" of some "private property." In other words, a prostitute.

A behind-on-mortgage-payments homeowner that tries to sell their own home, often without a real estate agent (For Sale By Owner). This is a desperate stall tactic, often the last one possible, to delay foreclosure while the homeowner finds a new place to live (parents, friends, apartment, rental housing, etc). Often the house is abandoned the same day the for sale sign is placed in the yard. Observers may also notice the homeowners taking objects that would typically be left behind if they actually intended on selling the home to include: fences; sink fixtures; cabinetry; exterior lighting fixtures; counter tops; and et cetera.

It becomes evident to observers that the homeowners are in no way serious about selling the home, but it is merely a stall tactic to pilfer and move as much value out of the home before they jingle mail the mortgage company. Another obvious sign is that the asking price set for the house is clearly insane and priced unreasonably high so as to not even attract potential buyers.

"Digging" means to comb, or "dig", through these boxes, in search of great vinyl that has slipped under the radar. Most, if not all of these records, are second hand, and sold at prices well-under that of retail music. Haggling is expected.

The digging process takes hours at a time, then a few hours more on top of that, and anything less indicates that a person is "shopping", and not "digging". Astute diggers will be standing outside a shop as it opens, or showing up at a record show at 6 am, just as vendors are unloading their vans, to try and get the choice picks while one-upping the other diggers. A primary difference between "shopping" for records and "digging" for records is with the latter, you don't know what you're looking for upon entering. You dig, finding interesting things as you go, m...
