THE HEART OF THE 127 YARD SALE!
One man's trash is
another man's treasure.
Do you get a real kick out of getting a bargain? Are you a passionate
collector? Are you still looking for that plate you broke in 1982
to make up your set? Well, then this is the place to be from August 7
to August 10 2008. Jamestown initiated the Highway 127 yard sale and we
are 8 miles from the 127, the densest part of the Yard Sale.
The road between Jamestown south to Crossville is only 45 miles and you
could spend a solid week just doing those stalls!
Enjoy the peace and quiet at Wildwood - bed and breakfast or cabins -
after your day's excitement. Clean and comfortable, with no price
hiking - you will discover a haven that you'll want to come back to
even when the Yard Sale's over! Click here to see photos, get
information and rates on our web page.
The Corridor Yard Sale now stretches 450 miles from Kentucky to
Alabama. There are only 4 official days, so there will be high pressure
on lodging as before. However, unofficially, vendors start setting up
the previous weekend - some even sell out before the official start. So
if you can't get in on the Thursday through Sunday, think about coming
up before. You'll get to snap up items that don't even make it to the
Yard Sale.
Start off your day with a hearty, full cooked breakfast at your choice
of time - you'll be grateful as it's not easy to find good food on the
Yard Sale.
It's fun and it's exciting. Come with a wad of one-dollar bills and
enjoy bartering with the sellers - they love to bargain as much as we
do. Chat with them - they're there to sell but prefer to sell to
someone they enjoyed talking to - they may even knock down the price if
you make them laugh.
Empty your trunk, take your truck, hitch up the trailer! Drive slowly,
pull off the road at each stall - it may be someone's front yard, a
garage or a field neatly roped off into a number of lots - wander
round, ferret, look under the tables and talk to the vendors. You'll be
surprised how much you want when the price is right!
You've got everything - everyday items at knock-down prices, very
collectible items, the odd mis-priced gem hidden beneath quite a lot of
trash and of course, savvy dealers unloading their stuff at silly
prices as well as the inevitable dealer who buys in nasty cheap goods.
No worry - the latter are so obvious, you just skip round those tables
- it makes the real yard-salers all the more pleasurable.
