I remember buying one bike at a rummage sale because the guy was cleaning his garage and saw his neighbor having a garage sale, so he put his kerosene heater and his German 10 speed out just to be part of Garage Sale Fever. Frantik is right, the question "Would you have any bikes around you may want to part with?" can sometimes yield a Huffy, but often in my area a late 70's Trek or Sekai or Raleigh. Be polite and courteous, and you've already got a leg up on 90% of the people they've dealt with that day.
