Yard sale shopping is just a click away

Saturday yard sale shopping is a routine way to find a good bargain, and there is a website that can save you some of the headache.

You can buy or sell just about anything on wilmingtonyardsales.com.

Gloria Anderson, website founder said, “Everybody has that item that they bought and they thought they were going to use it. Then they got it home, and they realize they don’t like it and they’re not going to use it.”

With over two million hits and 60,000 active members, locals are quickly catching on to wilmingtonyardsales.com. From a $1 t-shirt to an SUV for $10,000, you can find just about anything.

Shellie Harrell, a website shopper said, “I’ve done 100% of my holiday shopping on this website. I’ve bought everything from toys to clothes, to purses, to jackets, shoes. Everything you can possibly think of that I have bought, I buy on the site.”

You don’t have to pay taxes on your website purchases. Users say they like this site better than Craigslist or E-bay, because it’s user-friendly, negotiable, and safe.

Membership costs eight dollars a month, or, you can put a wilmingtonyardsales.com sticker on your car, and join for free!

If you still want to go to mom and pop’s yard sale to check out the items for yourself, you can do that too. The site posts actual yard sales going on around town. You can even map out all the yard sales you plan on hitting ahead of time.”

It’s not all about buying, you can make quite a bit of cash too. And wilmingtonyardsales.com isn’t all about online shopping. Members gather at the empty Bruce Cavanaugh Auto Mart parking lot at 6321 Market Street to exchange prearranged sales. They meet every Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:30.
