Questions for Yardsale Hosts (Sellers)

All you have to do is post your yardsale on yardsales.com. We randomly select yardsales across the country each week to receive a chest. We'll try to contact your either using your e-mail or telephone number. Please note, we will only select sales that have been posted well ahead of the time the sale is scheduled to start. We need enough time to contact you and send you the box. So post your sale at least a few weeks in advance.

You can. We have a shopping area you can purchase one from.

Generally not. But we indicate on the box any Age Appropriate concerns. For example, something a kid might not find interesting. We also try to indicate who might find the box more entertaining. We don't put any "adult" stuff in there.
