Here are eight things you should keep in mind when attending the World's Largest Yard Sale.

 

Bring Cash

 

 
Most vendors do not take credit cards. There are ATM's on site.

 

Bring a Bag to Hold Your Purchases

 

 
A cart to hold all your bags. The World's Largest Yard Sale has OVER 300 vendors selling. You always have the option to re-enter if your purchases become too heavy, making it difficult to continue to shop.

 

Have a Plan

 

 
If you get separated from your group. Bring cell phones or walkie talkies for easy contact with a lost member of your group.

 

Be Prepared for Any Weather Conditions

 

 
You don't want to miss the vendors outside! In the past, the World's Largest Yard Sale has been fortunate with great weather. But the weather forecast is never a guarantee. So bring an umbrella, raincoat, or poncho just in case.

 

Expect Great Deals on Your Holiday Shopping

 

 
Vendors will be selling Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter items. Buy now and be ahead of the game.

 

Relax

 

 
It may be overwhelming at times, when your hands are full, the aisles are filled with shoppers, your stomach is growling, your wallet is getting lighter. Enjoy the concession stands, food trucks, and some vendor booths selling little treats.

 

Patience

 

 
There will be LOTS of shoppers coming to the World's Largest Yard Sale. In Spring 2011, over 7,000 shoppers came out. Parking may not be conveniently located near the doors. You may be walking a little ways. Wear sneakers.

 

Don't Bring Pets

 

 
This is a Fairground Rule. Even though your pets are not allowed, there will be vendor booths selling fun things to take home for them.

 
As always, we hope you have an enjoyable day at the World's Largest Yard Sale.

Vinyl Albums

Vintage Vinyl Albums


 

 

Old Albums are very collectible and valuable depending on the artist. Early Beatles, Rolling Stones, or any of the top artists from the 50's, 60's, and 70's are all a pretty safe investment.

Vintage Comic Book

Vintage Comic Books


 

 

Nothing has appreciated in value more than vintage comic books. Find a early edition of Spider Man, Superman, or Bat Man and you'll be surprised how much they are worth. Condition of the comic book is also very important. If you find one that is in poor shape you're better off leaving it alone.

Vintage Radio

Antique Electronics


 

 

That radio your grandmother used to listen to when you were a kid might just be worth something. Brands like RCA, GE, Vanguard, Philco are the ones to look out for.

Vintage Toy

Vintage Toys


 

 

Whether it's an old metal wind-up toy or a die-cast car from the 40's and 50's, toys are very popular with collectors. Many of these toys are in rough shape because they were played with by children who are destructive by nature but if you are lucky enough to find one in mint condition You'll be surprised at its value.

Brewery Collectables


 

 

Western New York is lucky that it had several breweries so close by. One of my favorites was Fred Koch's Brewery in Dunkirk, N.Y. During their years of operation they produced many items that are highly sought after today. From Beer cans and trays to signs and lights I never pass on a chance to pick one of these items up given the chance.

The World's Largest Yard Sale

Photo by Yard Sale Staff

The weather could not have been better for the World’s Largest Yard Sale held on May 7th at the Hamburg.

I myself found a really cool antique New York State License plate from 1944 that I paid $10 for, I also found a music stand for my son who up until Saturday has been reading his music off a table. That was on $5.

I saw lots of sports collectibles, toys, clothing, tools, electronics,  jewelry, antiques, and crafts.
