ZipGarage.com - Yard Sale Blogging

Sometimes you are driving home and you see a pole with all kinds of balloons tied to it with a sign that says YARD SALE TODAY at so and so address, you figure, hey its just right there, lets check it out; then next thing you know you have a whole new furniture set for $200 bucks. Imagine what your house would look like if you had a more efficient way to find garge sales rather than waiting for someone to tie a bunch of balloons to the stop sign at the corner. With ZipGarage.com you can find the garage sales from the convenience of your own home. It is always free to both post and look, and it is possible for sellers and buyers to chat beforehand about the merchandise to eliminate driving across town for something you don't really want in the first place, or to snatch up something goog before the sale even starts.

ZipGarage is FREE forever! That's right... all the coolest "web 2.0" features that no other sale lister have will cost you nada, zilch, zippo, nothin', not-even-a-penny! Can't wait till the weekend, huh? ZipGarage enables both shoppers and sellers to get started on the fun anytime during the week. For sellers: get your buyers excited by posting photos of your stuff (with your notes!) days even weeks before your sale date. For shoppers: plan your weekend early! See what garage sales pops-up in your neighborhood, and know exactly where to go! (No need to track down those flimsy sale signs.) ZipGarage's comments area also allows sellers and shoppers to 'chat' even before the sale date. Now, how cool is that?

This site could be very useful for collectors of antiques who frequent garage sales and seek for rare finds. It could also be great for people trying to furnish their homes for pennies on the dollar, for the eBay reseller or just for the guy who is ready to get rid of all his crap.

People will want to use this site when it comes in handy but it is not the kind of site that is going to get heavy consistent traffic from the same people over and over.
