The golf set may have both right- and left-handed clubs and no putter, but, at $5, who could say no?
That gem at a Roxburgh home was one of hundreds of bargains in the Teviot Valley Garage Sale Trail on Saturday.
Between 10am and 4pm, 37 houses throughout the valley displayed balloons at their entrances to beckon shoppers towards tables of everything from vases to record players.
Money raised from the $12 registration fee and $3 maps will be given to Hayden Moore and Kylene Barbara, former Roxburgh residents now living in New South Wales, to go towards their 20-month-old son Hunter Moore, who was born with a congenital heart disease.
Participant Kim Skilton said it was great to get rid of old clothes and furniture.
"I read a book about decluttering, so I thought I'd give it a go.''
Bargain hunters came early and bought "quite a bit'', she said.
"It's great. The more people buy, the less I have to carry inside.
"And it's a good cause.''
Organiser Shirley Marsden said the turnout was "absolutely amazing''.
"Everybody had a very good day.''
Shoppers were out as early as 8.30am, before the event started, which filled the town with people, she said.
"All the shops did very well.''
She expected about $1500 was raised, but the total would not be known until the end of the week, she said.
The event would "absolutely'' go ahead next year, she said.
