Best Garage Sale Apps for Sellers in 2026
Published · 3 min read
Search "garage sale app" and you'll mostly get apps that find sales: maps, weekend routes, pin drops. That's useful if you're the buyer. If you're the seller, you need something else first: a list of every item, a price, and a way to know which bin on the driveway is which.
This page splits the two jobs. Finder apps first, then apps that help you run a sale. Hoardo sits in the second group as a catalogue, not as a map of yard sales.
Apps to find garage sales (for buyers)
Yard Sale Treasure Map (YSTM). The big US finder. Shoppers plot weekend routes. Sellers can list a sale for free (up to 16 photos on a listing, hours, a description) and print yard-sale signs with a QR code that opens that listing. Optional yearly Premium removes ads and unlocks extra map tools and listing analytics. This is a sale on a map, not an item-by-item inventory of your table.
gsalr.com. A web map of garage, yard, moving and estate sales. Good for spotting what's on this weekend. You're still writing the listing somewhere else if you're the seller.
MapMySales and similar local maps. Same job as YSTM with a smaller footprint. Fine as a buyer pinboard. Don't expect them to price a toaster.
If you only need shoppers to find the address, list on YSTM (and Marketplace, Nextdoor, Craigslist). That's advertising. It is not a price sheet.
Apps to run your sale (for sellers)
The seller gap is "what's on the table, what did I ask, and did we already sell it?"
Yard Sale Treasure Map, as a seller. Free listing, photos, QR signs to the listing. Strong for putting the sale on a map. Weak for 80 individual items with their own prices. You still need a list in your hand or on your phone.
Hoardo. A free home inventory app. You walk around, add every yard-sale item (photo, voice or type), group them in a Garage sale box, type an asking price, print QR labels for bins, export a CSV price sheet. Or put the pile on a Selling list and share its public shop page: one link with photos and asking prices for friends and neighbours. It does not put your sale on a map, take offers or hold a reserve. One photo per item. 100% free.
| Box # | Box | Item | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Garage sale | Coffee maker | 1 | 8 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Kids bike | 1 | 25 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Board games | 3 | 3 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Desk lamp | 1 | 5 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Winter coat | 1 | 6 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Toaster | 1 | 4 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Picture frames | 6 | 1 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Slow cooker | 1 | 10 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Camping chair | 1 | 8 |
| 1 | Garage sale | Paperbacks | 12 | 1 |
A notes app or a spreadsheet. Free, and they fall apart once you want a photo on the item, a QR on the bin and a search that works with dusty hands. That's the whole point of an inventory app. See spreadsheet vs Hoardo if that's the current plan.
Is there a garage sale app?
Yes. Several, for two different jobs:
- Find a sale: YSTM, gsalr, MapMySales, plus Facebook and Nextdoor search.
- Run your sale: a listing on YSTM (and Marketplace) for the address, and a catalogue (Hoardo, or paper) for the items.
There isn't a single app that both maps every driveway in town and inventories your table for free. Don't download a finder and expect it to price 80 things.
What is the best garage sale app for sellers?
If your problem is "will anyone come?", advertise: YSTM, Marketplace, Nextdoor, a sign.
If your problem is "I don't know what I'm selling or for how much", catalogue first. That's Hoardo's actual job, the same as how to price garage sale items and the garage sale checklist. For a move, use the moving sale split (sell vs keep vs donate) and QR labels from the barcode inventory guide.

Free to catalogue the table
Hoardo is 100% free. It will not replace a finder app. It will replace the notebook you keep under the cash box: every item, a price, a photo, QR labels, a CSV. That's the seller half of a garage sale app.
