How To Post Your Garage Sale On Patch

As the temperatures begin to register higher than 70 and the sun stays out longer, garage and yard sale season will pick up more and more steam.

Here at Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Patch, we pride ourselves on local, useful information. That includes who has books for a bargain, a dresser in their driveway or some clothes laid out on the lawn.

Posting your garage sale on Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Patch is easy. What's even better is it's free. You must be registered on Patch and logged in to enter an event, so do that first. 

Put you mouse on the Events tab and scroll down to Garage Sales.

To your right, you'll see: Add Your Own Event in green. Click on it, and fill out the information in the form. You can enter as little or as much as you would like, but be sure to enter your address and check off "Garage Sales" under categories.

When you're all done, click on the "Post My Event" button at the bottom of the screen, and voila!

You can even upload photos of the stuff you're selling, if you have photos of it.

If you're just looking to visit a few garage sales around town, click on "Events" and then "Garage Sales" and you'll be on your way in no time.

It's that easy. Totally free.

We can also feature Garage Sales in our Daily and Weekly newsletters that are sent out to our subscribers.

Local non-profit reminder: If you host a sale and have a few leftovers that didn't sell, consider donating them to a local charity.
