The site aggregates all of the garage sales in your local newspaper
and Craig's List.

You can read/print the data from your computer.

Or, you can load the info into your phone.

Looks like a timesaver when you are on the hunt.

My wife thanks you for the link. She is a yard sale queen. I only go to them if she calls me and reports that there are sports cards present. I am not the yard sale seeker like she is. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for the awesome link. Because of that link I will get some special nooky tonight!!! Thank you!!!!!!

Glad to be of service.

I am going to try it this weekend.

My expert says that 5 am on Saturday morning is the best
time to "finalize" your map. Doing it too early can result in
the loss of "one day listings" that amateurs often schedule
to run only Saturday.

The program can also be linked to GPS that will talk you
thru your entire route. I am going to start with printed
maps, but may graduate later.

Limiting the use of EBAY skills to "cards only" means that
you will, over time, leave a small fortune on the table.

Buying ANYTHING for pennies and selling it for dollars on
EBAY is a good thing; even when that "anything" is not cards.

I'll give it a try.

My experience with estate sales is that I sometimes find stuff
I want, but seldom find stuff that can be resold for lots more
than I paid for it.

Yard/Garage sales is where the "money for nothing" ops usually
are.

When on the hunt, time-management is the key to success. I
want the low hanging fruit and the "sure things." I just cannot
find those at most estate sales and don't wanna waste time
dealing with folks who often know as much as I know. (Such
sales are often actually run by pros who squeeze every cent
out of the merch.)

I found this thread and it looks like good information. Not too many yard sales this time of year in Chicago, but I'm sure it's sunny and warm somewhere. Happy hunting!
