Do you secretly get a little giddy when you’re walking up a driveway to a yard sale?
Are you excited to discover yard sale treasures?
Do you like to save money by shopping garage sales for your kids’ toys and clothing?
If so, you may be a YARDSAILR.
I shop yard sales for toys, kids’ clothing and entertaining wares. Of course, there are the random items that call my name while shopping, the old furniture longing to be repurposed and the craft projects just looking for a new home. And if you want to talk parties and entertaining, I find yard sales to be a great way to save some dough as you build a collection of goods for your next event.
Yes, I.love.yard.sales.
And that is why I am so excited to introduce you to YardSailr, a fantastic new (& free) app that finally makes it easy to find local yard sales and list your own.
Here is how it works (it couldn’t be easier):
Go to the website or download the Yardsailr app (available in the App Store or Google Play). Turn on your device’s location services or enter your zip code. Select the number of miles in which you want results. See the listings, hop in the car and shop! Didn’t I tell you it was easy?
What’s to Love about the YardSailr App:
You don’t have to search through a long list of yard sales that are far away. Unlike Craigslist, you have complete control over your search parameters. Only want to shop sales within 5 miles of your location? It’s possible. For my area, Craiglist shows all the Greater Cleveland sales…ALL! I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time to sort through the a long list of garage sales, most of which are over an hour away. With YardSailr, you enter your zip code and choose a radius. Awesome, right?
Photos show up in the search results listing. No need to click on each sale, to find out if there are photos from the seller. They are right there in the search results. I don’t know about you, but I love seeing pictures.
The website and app are convenient and easy to use. I like the way it is structured and organized. It just makes plain old sense!
One thing I did notice was that occasionally the address showed as a range in the search (ie. 105-125 Main Street). If this happens for you, just double check the address given by the seller and you’ll be fine.
Listing your own sale is a breeze. I listed my cousin’s sale in minutes and was even able to check mark categories of items being sold (toys, collectibles, tools, etc.).
All in all, the YardSailr app is great and simple to use. It makes finding the local yard sales easy. YardSailr has a permanent place on my phone.
The Giveaway:
To celebrate their great new app, YardSailr is graciously giving away a $75 Amazon Gift Card to one of our readers. The giveaway ends Monday, August 4th at 11:59pm and there are lots of ways to earn extra entries, including a bonus for downloading the app. Use it and love it, friends!

My wife loves yard sales. This would be nice to locate all the local yard sales.

No.
I have shopped yard sales in the past and I like that this app would make them easy to find.
I do! I like that it makes them easy to find by searching within a certain distance.
I shop yard sales, showing pictures on the app is a great feature.
I’m more at the point where I want to get rid of things rather than acquire more, but it does look very convenient!
I LOVE yard sales and I’m definitely downloading this app to my phone. It’s great that you can set the search parameters for the mileage. Like you, I don’t want to drive all over the place. Thanks for the info. and the great giveaway!
I don’t shop yard sales very often, but this app would be helpful when I do. I like that you have control over your search parameters.
Yes, i love finding deals at yard sales. The app would be great for local sales!
I go nuts over yard sales, but my hubby doesn’t like driving “all over creation”, so having this search application makes good sense!
I like to shop yard sales & this app will make it easier for me to see where the sales are going on.
I love stopping at yard sales, I have 5 kids I am raising alone so it helps me out. With this I like that you can basically see what they may have at the sale. My sister has them yearly so will have to share this with her
I have shopped at yard sales in the past but its been a while. I have too much stuff in my house as it is.
I shop yard sales.
My in-law does,so this app would be perfect for her.
Yes- love shopping yard sales. I like how it tells the distance.
Yes, I go to yard sales. I like that YardSailr is a convenient way to locate local yard sales without having to figue how far away they are and writing them down on paper.
I do enjoy shopping yard sales especially on lazy summer days. I love the organizational and geo-locating aspects of YardSailr!
yes i do and this is exciting because i love garage sales! i love finding bargains!!
Yes, this app will be SO convenient! I was just thinking someone needed to create an app like this so I’ll definitely be grabbing it! I hate just roaming around trying to find the good ones. 🙂

Yes! I like that it’s easy and quick to post your own sale!
I haven’t been to one in years.
I do shop yard sales but I don’t have a smart phone.
Lorena, thank you for checking out the post about our app.
You can always go to our app website http://app.yardsailr.com if you don’t have a smartphone. It offers the same functionality as the mobile app.
Hope you like it, and do let us know what you think about it!
I shop yard sales only because my wife makes me come with her. I find nothing appealing about it, although once in a blue moon I do find something I didn’t know I needed for practically nothing.
I don’t really do yard sales, but this app sounds like it would make it much easier to find them if I did.
Angi – that is correct. You can find sales happening around you using the location feature in the app. You can even specify the radius – 5, 10, 50 miles etc. around you.
This is one app I had to have right away!
Thank you! We hope you like it and use it!
Yes I do shop them and the app will allow me to find them.
A yard sale app would be great. I could have a driving plan before I left instead of just hoping to see a sign.
Wow, that’s a great idea. Perhaps our tech team can add the ‘driving plan’ feature to our next release. Noted 🙂
Thanks!
occasionally i do. i like the geolocating.
I don’t usually shop yard sales because I don’t pay great attention to the signs posted while driving. Hopefully the app will change that.
I do and I love that the app allows me to find them .
Yard sales are the best..Especially when you find that big score. I once got a brand new yankee candle large jar for a dollar!
I don’t have much time to shop yard sales but this app would make them easy to find.
I do occasionally go to yard sales. I probably wouldn’t use this app as I am not very tech savy.
Thanks for your comments Tari. Our intent is to make this app easy enough so even not so tech-savy users can meander easily – do try it and tell us how we can make it better for someone like yourself. We love to hear from our users! If you’re not into apps, you can always use our website app.yardsailr.com which offers the same features. Happy YardSailing!
I don’t do too many yard sales as I rarely find what I would consider treasure! The app seems nice – I just don’t have a phone that uses apps.
You can always go to the website, it offers the same features as the app 🙂
http://app.yardsailr.com
I do shop yard sales and it would be awesome to know where they are taking place.

Yes I do shop yard sales.This would come in handy when I go to unfamiliar areas.
I actually don’t shop yard sales much, I rarely have cash on me
demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
I have never found anything worth having at yard sales. I guess I lack vision. I admire those people on Antique Roadshow who can find a treasure worth thousands that they paid only pennies for however.
Yardsales are a weekend tradition, i get lots of good stuff, love having an app to make things a bit easier on my husband instead of driving all over!
Thank you April, do tell us what you think about the app.

I don’t do it very often just because I never have the time or opportunity. But, I do love yard sales, especially for home decor/houseware items.
I do sometimes. I like that you can see pictures of items. It would help me decide if I wanted to go to that yard sale or not. Thank you!
I like to shop yard sales sometimes the app would help me find them .
I like how easy it is to find sales close to where I am and get directions.
I don’t shop yard sales – just too hot in Vegas.
I go to yard sales if I have the extra money and someone to go with. I love that you can control your search parameters, and that you can see photos. I’m much more likely to go to a yard sale if there are photos available!
I like hard sales and this would be great for mapping out the ones that I want to go to.
I shop yard sales and an app will keep me organized
I love shopping yard sales and I like that you can put a search distance in the app.

I haven’t shopped at yard sales in a long time, but it does sound very helpful to scout out new places. Thanks for the giveaway!
On occasion we do. Mostly we just go to a huge garage sell our community has every year. I think the appeal of the app is you dont have to waste time driving around and hope you get some garage sells!
YES I love yard sales & what appeals to me most about the app is you can narrow down your search for yard sales within how many miles from you.
I don’t shop at yard sales, but I keep thinking I’m missing a lot of good bargains by not getting into the habit!
i used to but havent in a long time i had no idea there was an ap. i need to use it.
I yard sale every Saturday morning. This app looks great! I am going to start using it
I love yard saleing! I like that the app has pictures…it really helps you filter.
I love to go to yard sales. I find so many great bargains that way. I usually find listings in my local paper but I love that this app puts all that info at my fingertips and you can filter the results. I will have to check it out.
The yard sale app conveniently locates nearby yard sale locations and we’re happy to purchase bargain home goods.
Oh my gosh. YES YES YES to this app! So excited about the convenience this app will bring to my life!
Great to hear those words from you Laura 🙂 Do try the app and let us know what you think. You can use the Feedback feature within the app or Contact us from our website

I haven’t been to a yard sale in about ten years!
I don’t hardly ever shop at yard sales.
I do, but usually just end up going to ones that I see along my route. I like that the app could show me some that are near me, but not on the exact streets I am driving.
Yes, we go to garage sales each weekend. I like that it has pictures.
Can’t wait to try out the app and love that you can search areas near you!
Ive found some good stuff at garage sales, so the app looks great
We love yard sales. This app is great. We wouldn’t have to use half as much gas looking for the yard sales.
I rarely do the yard sale thing. I’m not a people person
I’ve gone to a few in the past. I like the app, because you can check specific things to look for or sell.
I LOVE yard sales but the newspapers rarely post them so I normally have to drive around looking for them LOL so this is an AWESOME way to save gas and time which leaves more money to spend!
I love yard saling and go almost every weekend. But I usually rely on local bulletin boards and neighborhood signs – an app would make finding great sales – and seeing the items – so much easier!
yes I love yard sales.. glad I can search by distance.. super easy to use.
I love yard sales. This app is great because it saves so much time in searching.
My mom is amazing at finding deals at yardsales…I love them too!
No but my wife does and uses this app to find them and how close they are.
I do love yard sales, but my phone isn’t smart enough for this app. I do like being able to find yard sales easier than just cruising.

I haven’t been to one in a long time, need to start doing that again.
You can find some amazing things at lawn sales! You have to be especially picky though because you can cause real overflow in your home quickly! An app would be so much better than the paper or Craigslist!
We used to go to yard sales before our hip and knee operations…
I LOVE yard sales (even though I don’t really NEED anything!) & just went to a sale today. This app would be very handy, as there would be no need to try to remember where the sales were or drag a newspaper around with the listings in it.
At times I go to yard sales, they’re especially useful for teaching supplies/materials. This site is interesting because it simplifies the process.
I used to go to yard sales but ever since I moved to a small town I haven’t gone to any. This would have been great to use for yard sales in a bigger town, it makes it so easy to find them.

I love yard sales and being able to find them easier is always going to be awesome!
I love to go to yard sales and this app looks like something that I will try for sure!

Honestly, I do not enjoy yard sales but I do love vintage and thrift shops.
I do shop at yard sales and this app would be great because it would help me locate where they are at.

I don’t really shop yard sales unless it’s my neighbors or I happen to be right there. I think they could become dangerous for me and I would buy so much stuff I don’t need!
i love, love, love yard sales! my mom got me into them when i was a kid and i love that you can find things that you normally wouldn’t find in a store (because it’s older or they no longer make it). i like the fact that you can search for what you want on this app..i like when i’m in control!

All the time.

Now and then I do yard sales and when I buy something, it’s usually something that is unique and fascinating to me.
We enjoy yard sales, and the app will help us by finding more sales that are closer together.
