Anything you would sell at a typical yardsale. Big things, small things (individually
or as part of a “lot”), whatever you can think of! The only restriction is that
items must be family friendly. Anything vulgar and/or offensive in nature will be
rejected from the site.
When titling a listing, be brief yet descriptive, remembering that the title may
be the only thing that gets looked at.
Keep in mind that this is a yardsale site, so price your items much like you would
at an actual yardsale … and of course, yardsales and bartering go hand in hand,
so always leave a little wiggle room just to keep things interesting.
The purpose of the site is to connect local sellers with local buyers. Once the
connection has been made, it is up to the individuals to communicate via personal
email and/or phone.
Payment of goods must be coordinated between the buyer and seller, and is not the
responsibility of this website.

Have fun, be courteous, and find lots of cool stuff!

Safety
Any safety concerns related to the use of this site, should be considered by the
user. While we are happy to provide safety tips (see below), we are not responsible
for the safety of those who choose to utilize this website. Having yardsales and
selling yardsale-type stuff can be a lot of fun and very useful, but staying safe
while you do it is most important.
Tips for safe local selling:
- Be extremely cautious selling small items of high value. Items such as jewelry,
one-of-a-kind trading cards, etc. should probably be saved for more impersonal sites
such as eBay. If you wouldn’t display it while hanging out on your front lawn at
a yardsale, you might not want to sell it on this site. You are at your own risk
when you list these types of items—you don’t want to attract anyone with malicious
intent to your address by publically advertising small items of high value. Please
be extra careful!
- Consider meeting the buyer at a grocery store or other public location, particularly
when items are easily portable (a box of clothes, microwave, bedding, even small
furniture and bikes, etc.). While a great tip for anyone, this might be especially
useful for those who live alone. Being able to meet up easily at a public location
is the beauty of this very local service.
- Be smart and follow your gut. Pay attention when you are communicating (via
phone, email, etc.) with a buyer or seller. If something doesn’t seem right, end
communication right away. Please report any individuals who seem suspicious or are
using the site inappropriately. Follow your intuition and play it safe!
