Every Saturday morning, dozens of yard sales are happening near you. You just can't see them. YardSaler puts every yard sale, garage sale, estate sale, and moving sale in your area on one map — and lets you shop the items sellers keep listed between sales, all week long. FIND EVERY SALE NEARBY • Live map of yard sales near you, filtered by distance, date range, time of day, price, and whether the seller posted photos • Filter for free items only when you're hunting curb finds • Save the ones you want to hit and let YardSaler plan your Saturday route — real driving directions, optimized order, with a time budget if you only have a few hours • Set keyword alerts ("vintage records," "kids bikes") and get a push notification the moment a matching item posts within your radius • Follow your favorite sellers — get notified when they post a new sale or list a new item SHOP BETWEEN SALES • Sellers list standalone items year-round, not just on sale weekends • Browse, search, and filter items from local hosts • Make an offer, counter-offer, or bundle multiple items in one chat • 48-hour offer windows so negotiations don't drag on MESSAGE, MEET, REVIEW • Built-in chat with every host. Ask "Is this still available?" before driving over • Tap "On my way" so the seller knows you're coming • Tap "Arrived" after the sale to leave a review and help build seller reputation • Block or report any user with one tap HOST YOUR OWN SALE IN UNDER A MINUTE • Post in 90 seconds: address, hours, photos, items, descriptions • Add unlimited items with categories, prices, and conditions • See live view counts, saves, and "heading over" pings on every listing • Boost your sale to the top of every nearby buyer's feed for 24 or 72 hours • Sales auto-expire when they end — no clutter in your listings PRIVACY THAT ACTUALLY DELIVERS • Your exact address is hidden until 1 hour before the sale starts — until then, only the general area shows • Buyers see your username, never your email or last name • Delete your account anytime from Settings — your data is gone within 24 hours • Reports are reviewed within 24 hours. Zero tolerance for hate speech, scams, illegal items, or fake listings FREE FOREVER FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS No listing fees. No transaction fees. No subscription. YardSaler is supported by ads (buy Remove Ads once if you'd rather not see them) and by optional 24- or 72-hour Featured Listing boosts for sellers who want top placement. — Built natively for iPhone, iOS 17 and later. Dark mode, system share, universal links, full-screen photo zoom. Made for weekend treasure hunters and the people who clean out garages.
