Look! Garage Sale Mashup

083007_google.jpg

Looking for a garage sale this weekend? It just got a whole lot easier. Reader Genevieve tipped us off to the latest Google Maps Mashup: Garage Sale Tips and Maps. Type in your address and find all the garage sales currently advertised on craigslist that are near you.

 
 

We're visual people over here so this makes things much simpler. No more mapquesting addresses to figure out which block of Venice boulevard the sale is on. If we were in town this weekend we'd be hitting up this yard sale selling porcelain dolls, or this estate sale in Santa Monica.

Happy Hunting.

Wow- great tool but I tried to use it and only found 2 of the 6 listings that it mapped out near me. Hmm.. maybe people are entering their address wrong or cancelling their sales. I found some that weren't listed too so it wasn't a complete waste.
