If you are looking for one particular item while garage saling -- like I was looking for a monitor a few weeks ago -- you are unlikely to find it your first trip out, as I've discussed before.
One way to improve your chances of finding your item is to simply ask sellers if they have what you want. There's always a chance that you just don't see an item -- having discussed sales with friends after leaving them, this occurs more frequently than you would think -- or that the seller forgot to put the item out or didn't think to try to sell it.
This trick obviously will work better for more common items. I've seen it work for photography equipment a few times now. It only takes a few seconds so if you really need an item it's worth it.
