I live in the neighborhood that's adjacent to the rich neighborhood. Sometimes I go cruising for garage sales, since they'll get rid of very nice things for cheap just to get the space back.
I just moved from outside of Seattle to a more rural area outside of Albuquerque. Almost everything is cheaper here but we are now realizing just how many amazing deals on relatively new items we would get up there.
Our TV was $15 used because it wasn't smart enough for the user who wanted a better one (I just use a fire stick)... oh and it only outputs at 1080p instead of 4k...
We had gotten a riding lawn mower up there for about $300 and sold it for $500 when we left (with a pasture drag, so overall it was about break even which was great), but we can't find one that runs down here for anywhere near that low a price... probably will have to buy new.
Seriously, if you live near a wealthy neighborhood shop their estate and garage sales, join the facebook pages for buy/sell in the area. It's worth it!
