FAQs

Where is the Hundred Mile Yard Sale in North Carolina? ›

The U.S. 21 Road Market stretches over 100 miles on U.S. Highway 21 from Wytheville, Virginia, to Harmony, North Carolina.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings are usually the best time to hold a successful garage sale. Consider scheduling your sale on the first weekend of the month—when people have just gotten paid and haven't spent all their fun money yet.

Sellers are ready to part with their things, so it's perfectly acceptable to haggle on pricing, especially if you are interested in a high-dollar item or have a grouping of things. Either ask the seller if they can lower the price or feel free to make an offer. However, don't suggest too low a price.

The History of the 301 Endless Yard Sale

Along the 100-mile-plus stretch of highway, the event offers deals, antiques, collectibles, DIY furniture, crafts, and more. The 5 DMOs that currently organize the sale promote travel, tourism, and economic development on U.S. Highway 301 from Weldon to Dunn in NC.

The Route 127 Yard Sale stretches across six states every year on the first week of August. Spanning approximately 690 miles from northern Alabama to southern Michigan, the U.S. Route 127 Yard Sale claims to be the “world's longest.”

The 127 Yard Sale is an annual event that takes place the first Thursday-Sunday in August each year. It's literally, The World's Longest Yard Sale!

Conventional advice is to have at least $100 cash available to make change. Here's a common breakdown: (20) $1 bills = $20. (5) $5 bills = $25.

The 10% Rule

Sometimes, math is simple. For an easy pricing guide, try the 10% rule where you price whatever item it is that you're selling for 10% of its original cost. So, if you bought that lamp for $20 at Target five years ago, try to sell it for $2.

Although not everyone puts price tags on their garage sale merchandise, pricing your merchandise in advance will make the day of the sale less hectic for you. Additionally, it may make customers more likely to buy.

As you likely guessed, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are known as the best time to have a yard sale because that's when most people can attend. What is yard sale season, though? It's usually the spring and summer because of favorable weather conditions.
