Yard Sale Treasure Map

Kool This app is great

;)

Only for phones Does not support tablets or larger screen sizes. Way too small to use!

nice this app is sweet!

Great! Very helpful, shows all the information you need and even has a link to the original post! Five stars if updated to allow the user to choose the search radius. I don't know too many people who would drive forty miles for a yard sale!

Neatly done No others showed up but on yours.

Not for small towns This probably works better for bigger cities. None were listed near me but the paper listed several.

A must if you love yard sales This is a fantastic app for yard sales. It mines Craigslist to find the yard sales in your area and displays them on a map. You can select a yard sale to read its description and then send the location to the phone's Maps app for turn-by-turn directions. A couple of cautions (why I didn't give it a perfect 5) - Since the yard sale app gives the map app the location as latitude/longitude it's possible you could end up in an incorrect location next to your destination. In particular it could send you to a place on the next block because it thinks it's going to your destination's back yard. Often it's difficult to get to your actual destination from the location the app sends you to (a different housing complex separated by a brick wall, a place on the opposite side of an inlet, etc.) I'm always careful to read the address on the ad, and compare it with the destination in the map app to see if they match. If they don't I zoom in on the map destination to figure out where I actually have to go. In some of cases (less than 3%) it can find a sale several towns over, but think it's in your town because of an identical street name. Even with these problems I still love this app!

Uninstalled Search shows 2 results found but didn't show where they were. I've seen better and will keep looking.

Awesome app!
