About Yardy — Local Secondhand Search Engine

Yardy is a local one-time-sale discovery platform. We aggregate yard sales, estate sales, garage sales, neighborhood sales, pop-up community events, and time-limited auctions into a single searchable, map-based interface. If a sale happens this weekend within an hour of you, our goal is for it to be on Yardy. We deliberately don't list permanent storefronts — no thrift stores, antique malls, or pawn shops. Yardy is about this weekend, not every weekend.

As of June 2026, Yardy indexes eighty-one cities across South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, and Alabama — with new metro areas added monthly when buyers tell us they want one (you can request your area on any empty-state map). Coverage includes estate sales (EstateSales.net, EstateSale.com, EstateSales.org), classified yard sales (Craigslist, YardSaleSearch, gsalr, GarageSaleFinder), short-window auctions (HiBid, MaxSold), and event-style sales (Eventbrite, Patch, Google Events).

For a live-numbers snapshot of every sale type and state currently tracked, see The Yardy Index — refreshed daily with the count of upcoming sales, sale-type breakdown, and per-state distribution.

Treasure-hunters, resellers, and weekend bargain shoppers used to keep ten browser tabs open every Friday night planning a Saturday route. The data is public, but it lives on twenty different sites, each with its own search, its own map, and its own definition of "near you." Yardy puts it all in one place — a single map, one search box, real distance from where you are right now, and the ability to favorite, share, and get directions in one tap.

Every morning at 6 a.m. UTC, our scrapers visit each source, fetch the new and updated sales for our coverage area, geocode them to real-world coordinates, filter out duplicates and ineligible content (e.g., real-estate listings posing as estate sales), and load them into a single PostGIS-backed database. By the time you check Yardy on a Friday afternoon, the weekend's listings are already there, plotted on a map, sorted by how far they are from you.

Sellers can also post their own sales directly on Yardy for free. One free listing per month per account, no credit card required. Pro members (↗ $4.99/mo) get unlimited listings plus optional Boost placements that highlight a sale at the top of search results.

Yardy is built and operated by Yardy LLC, a South Carolina company based in Charleston. The product is a side passion project of the founder, Jack Westover — a yacht-insurance specialist by day, a thrift-hunter and software builder on weekends. Yardy has been live since April 2026 and is still very much in its early days.

Built quietly on weekends with no investors, no ad budget, and no team — just one person who got tired of having ten browser tabs open every Friday night to plan a Saturday route. If something annoys you about the product, write me. I personally read every contact-form message that comes in, and most of them get fixed within a week.

Through 2026: more cities (the Northeast and Midwest are on deck once Southeast coverage is rock-solid), more sources (Facebook Marketplace yard-sale groups, NextDoor neighborhood sales, regional auction houses), and more “decision support” for buyers — saved-search alerts that arrive Wednesday for the weekend ahead, weekly digest emails that surface hot estate sales, and seller scorecards that show which sellers consistently price fair.

We're intentionally web-first for now. There's no app store presence yet because most of what people want from Yardy works fine on a phone browser. If you'd like a home-screen shortcut, hit your browser's “Add to Home Screen” — Yardy is a Progressive Web App with offline-capable caching for return visits.

We don't process payments between buyers and sellers. We don't handle delivery. We don't take a cut of any transaction. Our only paid features today are Pro subscriptions and optional Boost placements that sellers buy to surface their own listings. Everything a buyer sees on Yardy is free to use, and we plan to keep it that way.
