An indignant Hoater took to the platform to commiserate after discovering a Facebook post showing an HOA representative ordering their residents to contribute items to the community’s luxury garage sale.

Normally, selling your used belongings and buying secondhand items are two extremely positive moves for your wallet and the planet. Selling items secondhand can net you a pretty penny for your unwanted good, all while saving money for buyers who would otherwise need to buy items new. Sometimes, shoppers can even find hidden gems worth much more than the asking price.

At the same time, thrift stores and garage sales keep usable products out of landfills and can also reduce pollution from the manufacturing process since fewer new products need to be made and shipped.

However, one HOA seemed to have other goals in mind that defeated the purpose of a garage sale. A casual user who stumbled on a Facebook post listing details of the Sandoval Village community garage sale shared it to with the community dedicated to overstepping HOAs.

“You will be required to have a garage sale or find a neighbor to team up with to sell your stuff,” said the post.

It went on to explain that sellers must use Stripe at their own expense to allow the HOA representative to track their profits, 10% of which will be claimed by the HOA.

The post also demanded that residents offer luxury goods such as art and designer clothing.
