Best bets for Aug. 17-18

Yorkers love their yard sales. There's no disputing that.

From families looking to get rid of years of, umm, "treasure," to whole neighborhoods cleaning out their attics, to church parking lots filled with vendors' wares, we take yard sales pretty seriously around here.

The York Dispatch hosts the forum for yard sale sellers and buyers in the York area. Yard Sale Secrets offers tips on how to sell, how to buy, how to spot a deal, where to find the best yard sales and much more.

Dispatch staffers will help you each weekend with our "best bets," culled from the Yard Sale section of the York Dispatch classifieds. Then, every Monday, we'll show you what treasures we found.

And of course, we encourage fellow yard sale enthusiasts to offer ideas and leave comments. Please read our comment policy first.
