494 garage sales in Virginia this weekend. Whew!

Don’t have a GPS? No problem, there are printable maps with directions available on the website as well.

It’s time to hit the road and get shopping, there are few hundred just in the Hampton Roads area.

This week I created the button for the whole state of Virginia, instead of just the Tidewater sales, to my one-click button for automatic TomTom installation this week.

Have fun shopping!

Not only did I create the one-click download for your TomTom device for Hampton Roads, but I created one for the whole country this week to see if anyone uses it.

Hampton Roads
United States

Don’t have a TomTom? Most other brands of GPS devices can import a CSV file. Look for the button just above the listings on our garage sale map.

In south-side Hampton Roads, the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk and Portsmouth, require residents to apply and pay for a garage sale before having a sale. Each of these cities has their own regulations regarding garage sales or yard sales, including restrictions on the number of days you may hold your sale and where you are allowed to post signs. Norfolk and Chesapeake have easy to find information on their cites, as well as printable PDF applications. Portsmouth, while it has a listing for garage sale permits and a phone number to call, doesn’t have any information about the requirements or costs.
