3 Must-Haves for the 127 Corridor Sale

If you’re on the lookout for great finds and a fun getaway, then the 127 Corridor Sale is for you. This multi-state sale is the World’s Longest Yard Sale and spans 690 miles throughout 6 states!

A yard sale like this should be enjoyed to the fullest, but if you’re not prepared you may end up feeling stressed and frustrated. We don’t want that for you.

Prepare with these 3 things and you’ll have the time of your life:

1. Map of Vendors

While shopping along many miles of yard sales, it can be easy to lose track of something you may have seen earlier in the day. To prevent scrambling around and wasting time trying to remember where you saw your favorite items, print out and bring a map of vendors along with you.

You’ll be able to easily make notes about items you see along the way, interesting sights, prices, and even the names of people/vendors you meet. If paper maps aren’t your style, consider dropping a location pin on your favorite smartphone map app so you know right where to return to if needed.

2. Cash is King

While many vendors may take debit/credit cards these days, there are still plenty of vendors who prefer cash. Some sellers may even be willing to negotiate and cash gives you flexibility when bargaining! Keep in mind that ATMs may be difficult to find along the route, depending on your location, so plan accordingly.

3. Cargo Room

Don’t forget that at the end of the trip you’re going to need to bring all of your amazing finds back home. Furniture, tools, antiques, and other unique pieces come in all shapes and sizes.

Make sure you plan to have enough cargo room in your car, truck, or SUV, or consider pulling a trailer if needed. Bring tarps and tie-downs too in order to safely secure items for travel. Even if you think you may not buy something large, it's best to plan ahead for transport space because you just never know what you may come across at the World’s Longest Yard Sale!
