Find the Best Deals in Your Neighborhood
YardShoppers pulls together yard sales, estate sales, and local resale businesses from across your area — all searchable, filterable, and ready to explore right now.
🏠 The Homepage — Your Sales Hub
The YardShoppers homepage is your command center. At the top you'll find a powerful search bar and a row of tabs — each one is a different type of sale or listing you can explore.
The original core of YardShoppers. Browse garage sales, multi-family sales, and neighborhood-wide events near you. Boosted listings float to the top.
Full-home estate liquidation sales from both YardShoppers sellers and aggregated listings pulled from across the web — all in one place.
A dedicated marketplace for individual items. Think Craigslist-style but cleaner — furniture, electronics, clothing, tools, and more.
Neighborhood buy/sell/trade groups and local community conversations. Join a group or create your own.
Thrift stores, pawn shops, antique dealers, consignment shops, and estate sale companies — all with their own storefronts.
Estate auctions, government surplus, and vehicle auctions are on their way. Keep an eye on this tab!
Bank-owned properties, pre-foreclosures, and distressed sales will be launching here soon.
🔎 Searching for Sales
The search bar at the top of the homepage and browse page lets you search by keyword — item type, city, neighborhood, description, or anything else. Results update instantly.
Type anything — "furniture," "vintage," "power tools," a city name, or a ZIP code. The search engine looks across titles, descriptions, cities, and states.
When you allow location access, YardShoppers automatically sorts results by distance from your current position — closest sales first.
Filter sales by date to only see what's happening today, tomorrow, this weekend, or on a specific date you choose.
🎛️ Filters — Find Exactly What You Want
On the browse page and in each tab, you have powerful filters that narrow your results down to exactly what you're looking for.
Set a radius from your location (or any city you type). Choose from preset distances or go nationwide with the 'Show All Sales' option.
Filter by what's being sold: Furniture, Electronics, Clothing, Toys & Games, Tools, Kitchen, Sports, Books, Antiques, Garden, Baby & Kids, Vehicles, or Free Stuff.
Only see sales happening on a specific date or date range. Great for planning weekend shopping trips.
Boosted listings automatically float to the top of results, making it easy to spot the most promoted and popular sales near you.
In the Local Listings tab, filter for items priced at $0 — free giveaways from people in your community.
In Local Listings, filter for items the seller is willing to ship — so distance is no barrier.
