Who is Anna Katonova ?

She was the first person to Organize a Garage Sale in the Year 1678 on the Streets of New York. She was also known as the Flea Girl !

Anna Katonova

This is how it all started ...

She saw some very Dainty Chinese Tin Toys that were thrown out of the Window. They were old and had become creaky and Dirty. She cleaned and oiled them; with a little Tweaking they were as good as New. 

This gave her a Brilliant Idea, she decided to sell these Repaired toys in the Village Square. (Now known as Times Square) .

She collected all the Broken Toys in the neighborhood and fixed them. Then she spread them out on Display, over a Large Persian Carpet, under the Old Oak Tree. This was the Largest tree in the center of the Village Square.

More about this later, my Imagination Engine chugs very slowly. I use my good old brain and a bit of Natural intelligence.
