TECHNOLOGY TIPS – SUMMER YARDSALE ALL YEAR LONG

Clear the lawn for Yardsale a new iPhone app that works like this: take a picture of something you want to sell. Watch as it automatically uploads to Craigslist Facebook and Twitter. Collect money. It’s available now.

This app acts as the middleman between you and Craigslist filtering out any spam or not-so-serious buyers along the way. And it can also be used in reverse-there’s a whole marketplace where you can buy things that people around you have put up for sale.

So let’s say you decide to part with that old lounge chair that’s taking up space. Take a picture of it (they come out kind of Instagram-y) set a price and give it a name.

Sit back and let the offers come in.
