Replacement for Yard Sale Treasure Map App

[silverdollarbill]

I've been using the Yard Sale Treasure Map app for years. Its a great app and much better than going through CL listings.

As many of you know, CL no longer let's them pull in there listings which means the app is dead.

I'm assuming others are having the same issue. Has anyone found a replacement?

It seems it is still pulling from Craig’s list on mine.

I used mine all weekend.
And last weekend in Orlando.

I’d say maybe delete and reboot it? Or update maybe. Unless your subscription expired. I think it’s $4.99 now. Use to be .99.

I wish this was the case but the automatic import of CL ads is no more. Sellers can now post listings directly in Yardsale Treasure Map but thats it. This is going to be a huge pain and may end my yardsale days. Let me know if anyone finds an alternative.

I see. I didn’t understand. [emoji30]

I've never used any app. Only cl to find community sales. Aside from that, I just drive like a maniac (at the speed limit) around my designated target area. One weekend in one county, another weekend in another. I just use the law of averages, knowing that there will be sales out there. I have a lot of fun doing it like that. :-) Hopefully, one day they will build an app that I can just type in that I'm looking for gold and vintage watches, and it will take me directly to those houses! Lol! Good luck to all of you!

Let me know if you ever come to Orlando, again. Lunch on me.

Craigslist has a map feature. It is VERY clunky and inefficient, but that's the closest thing I've found. We put one person on CL, one person on Maps and looking for signs, and one person driving.

I use https://www.estatesales.net/ It works for lots of cities and you can limit to mileage from your zip. I especially like the site because it will email you if a sale has items you are looking for (like bottles, jewelry, etc.) Each email shows the matching text for your saved searches and a link to go directly to the pictures listed in the estate sale. It includes garage sales, estate sales and auctions in your area.

Thanks for the tip whynot!

I didn’t realize the Craigslist app allowed you to “star” sales and see them on the map view.

Yardsale Treasure Map used to allow you to color code the stars. I used to set the color based on time. CL app doesn’t let you do that but it’s not a bad replacement.

Facebook market place seems to have a lot of sale listings. Just type in what your looking for. He doesn’t have a map but I have found some community sales that way that weren’t posted anywhere else.

I just tried it out. Everything was checked off and absolutely nothing. I live in a very small county. I am sure no one has even heard of it.

Friday night, I go online and put them from CL into a Maps saved folder. That shows them on Google Maps as flags. I put in a comment about the time of the sale if it is not 8am. That works the best.
