Cards in your hand are not items yet. Period. The relevant passage was quoted earlier in the thread and further highlighted by MunchkinMan. Anything posted in the forums by Andrew Hackard and/or MunchkinMan are rules, not opinions.

Oh, I see, my bad! I didn't pay attention to the user names, sorry :)

The Garage Sale card doesn't mention it because the relevant rule is in the rules of every core and Deluxe game, right on page 1: Cards in your hand are not in play. They don’t help you, but they can’t be taken away except by cards that specifically affect “your hand.”

Ducallan is a brilliant and wise poster! This is a rule, not an opinion.

Less flippantly, both M'Man and I do sometimes post opinions, but both of us try to indicate when we aren't speaking as Rules Experts™.
