Game of Chance

Cityardsale.com

Life is a game.

Oh, yeah? If that were true, moving would be as easy as picking up a card, plopping a green plastic house on Atlantic Avenue, and ignoring realities like packing or selling all your old stuff.

Cityardsale.com makes shaking the dice fun again. Sellers list their goods, then schedule a real-life yard sale. Buyers browse the site and find exactly what they like. Sellers and buyers meet at the sale.

In fact, lots of folks will be there when you showcase the treasures of your community chest online, so you don’t have to take a chance on just one potential buyer. And if you’re on the lookout for something in particular to purchase, you can sign up for e-mail alerts to new listings on the site.

Sales can be big or small, and it’s free to search, so there’s no need to fork over any paper money.

Which means everyone advances to Boardwalk.
