Using the Site

What is "flagging"?
What is the "Change Jar"?
What is the "Watch List"?
How long are my items listed for?





How the heck do I shrink my pictures!?
Use our handy-dandy shrink tutorial written for normal folk.


How does everyone have so much stuff to sell!?
Here's an experiment: walk around your house. You'll be amazed at what you find. And even more amazed when people buy it!


Can I sell my stuff on Quantico Yard Sales?
Absolutely! Just create an account and start posting your stuff!


Can I post a live sale on Quantico Yard Sales?
Yes! And it's completely free. Though we thoroughly believe in the power of the internet, we fully support the old-fashioned way (and we participate it in ourselves!). Just create an account and you will then be able to post your sale! We'll even give everyone a map right to your house.

And remember, if you don't sell everything you wanted to, come back and post your items here!


Does it cost anything to buy?
No. Browse around as much as you want. If you are interested in an item, you may contact that seller directly via this site. After that, the ball is in your court.


Does it cost anything to sell?
Nope. You can list for free! If you want pictures, bold titles, longer descriptions, and other cool features, sign up for a Premiere account. If you are a world-renowned penny pincher, you can list items for free. You don't get any pictures, bold titles, long descriptions, etc., but you DO get your items listed. We obviously recommend a Premiere account and feel that you have a greater chance of selling your items with the aforementioned features (and the money helps us keep the site running smoothly).


Can I contribute a catchy quote?
Yes. Send us your idea and if we deem it worthy, we'll not only incorporate it into the site, but we'll notify you about it.


Am I committed once I contact the seller?
You are encouraged to contact the seller through the site, but that does not commit you to anything, by any means. It's just like a live sale: just because you ask for more information about the item doesn't commit you to anything. Unless you have a guilty conscience or are overly nice.


What if I don't have the means to take pictures of my items?
We'll come take the pictures for you and handle the rest. For a $50 fee. Yes, it's a pain for us and that's why we have to charge so much money to make it worth our while. Might as well invest in a good camera or borrow your neighbor's brand new 8.4 Megapixel digital camera.


What if I don't live near Quantico?
We'd love to have you live closer. You are still free to buy and sell as you please, but it may make it more inconvenient for sellers/buyers, making the exchange less likely. Like a live sale.


I'm not from here---when will you have something like this in my area?
As soon as you decide that you want it in your area. We've already had requests to launch a Quantico Yard Sales in other communities. And you can be a part of it. Sign the petition for more information.


Can retailers sell stuff on Quantico Yard Sales?
Good question. This site is meant for normal people. If you are a retailer and want to sell your stuff, contact us for more information.


Can I advertise on Quantico Yard Sales?
Another great question! Quantico Yard Sales drives more traffic than any other local Quantico website. You will not find a better place to advertise your local business. Honestly.

If you are interested, please contact us.


How the heck do I use Quantico Yard Sales?
Relax. Visit our "How to" page.


I see a bunch of gobbledy gook. Looks like geek-speak. How do I fix it?
Try hitting "refresh" on your browser. Try keying "F5." If neither of those work, try clearing your cache (go to Tools -> Preferences or Tools -> Options).


What is "flagging"?
"Flagging" is community voting. Think of it like Quantico Yard Sales "Survivor", where those items flagged most are voted off the system. Occasionally we find people that find ways to abuse the system, and since we're all part of the Quantico Yard Sales community, the community votes on what you post. Prohibited? Excessive reposting? Not really an item? You're outta here! If an item is flagged a certain number of times (and we change that from time to time), then that item is removed automatically. Here are the types of flags:

  • Prohibited. Please review the list of prohibited listings
  • Overposting/Spam. For the seller that likes to keep their items on the front page.
  • Scam. For people running shady operations, often from out of state.
  • Wrong Category. For sellers that post their items in the wrong categories.

    In all this, remember that we're family, so be objective and judicious. We hope you'll remember the Golden Rule.


    What is the "Change Jar"?
    The Change Jar allows you to obsessively track how much money you have made on your online sale. It keeps track of all the items that you have "SOLD" (don't delete them!), and calculates your earnings based on the price of your items. When you make your first million, please send us a postcard.


    What is the "Watch List"?
    Found a favorite seller? A favorite item that you are interested in, but not quite ready to buy? You can save it on your "Watch List", and have quick and easy access....less hunting around for someone or something that you already saw, but lost. The Watch List is for *buyers*, and you'll need to create an account so we can save them for you. (FYI, many, many people LOVE this...is it because the outlet malls are too far away?)


    How long are my items listed for?
    An item will disappear off the site:
    1) 60 days since the item was last edited
    2) 3 days after it is marked "sold."
    3) when flagged multiple times by other users
    4) if we deem it inappropriate for the site
