Hopefully these are better. I've been to the one that crosses KY and TN, highway 127, "Worlds Longest Yard Sale". Its not a yard sale, its a flea market that runs hundreds of miles. People with homes along the route mark off small spots in their front yards and rent the space to professional flea marketeers.
Garage sales I love, as stuff is priced to MOVE. Flea markets tend to have much higher prices. By the time I added gas, food, hotel to the trip, it was a real bust.
Meanwhile, city wide and neighborhood garage sales tend to still be a good deal.
I define a yard sale as one where the property owner puts out their own stuff to sell, cheap. Booth after booth of flea marketeers just doesn't cut it.
