Yard Sales Aren't For Everyone

...and for those people, there's dumpster diving!

Fortunately, in Naperville, we don't have to go as far as the dumpsters - there's prime goods to be found. On the side of the road. Starting the evening before the trash pickup happens.

Not that I make it a normal habit, but in the the normal course of driving around you can't believe the masses of stuff that people seem to have no use for. I picked up a fully-working 4 gallon 125 psi air compressor yesterday. Do I have a use for it? Not yet. But lack of an immediate purpose never stopped a man from acquiring more tools....

Over 1000 sellers on NYS

Well, we recently surpassed a nice, even-number milestone. 1000 sellers have signed up to use NYS (we're actually at 1020 now). Some have yet to post an item, but most have. And people are having more and more success selling their junk, er, valuable goods. :) Just yesterday we unloaded half a dozen items or so on some unsuspecting locals.

Lots to look forward to in the coming months!

Personal Plugs

It's not often that one of my friends mentions me in their profile. BJA has done it though. I've been bugging them for months, ever since they paid $300 to have a previously-free couch driven cross-country to their house. They've finally bowed to pressure and joined, listing their first item this past weekend.

They called me the day they posted it, super excited that they already had an interested buyer. Why does it take people so long to see the light? ;-)

Movin' on out

Looks like an NYS faithful is moving away: z_is_free but their stuff isn't. (hardy har har). But it is significantly reduced in their move to some exciting place not nearly as exciting as here. We'll miss their contributions to the NYS party....:)

Thumbnails now available

In our efforts to make things a little easier to use, you can browse the items with thumbnails. So you can get even more of a sneak preview before clicking on the item link. Hopefully it will give you a quicker fix for that addiction. :)

We're back!

Miss us? :)

After some time of being absent from the blogosphere, we've come back to reality, er, virtually. We've been swamped working on some new features, building up the site, and making big plans for the future. Stay tuned for lots more juicy info here....

And Happy New Year!
