Garage Sale Sneak Peek: What Will You Be Selling?

Think of us as secondhand matchmakers. 

With Oak Forest's Citywide Garage Sale around the corner, Patch wants to bring together these two types of residents:

• Those residents who are looking to part with clothes, furniture and knick knacks they no longer want.
• Those residents who are searching for deals on unique items and want to get the jump on other shoppers.

That's why we're asking people participating in the two-day event to post photos of rare items for sale or merchandise they're selling at a great price. Unloading that pristine-condition Atari 2600 with grocery bag of games for $20? Upload a picture of it here. Getting rid of an oak dining room table and chairs for $5? Tell everyone about it. 

We'll roundup some of the best items for a story to run Thursday, May 16, a day before the sale begins.

What do you need to do for a chance to be included. Post a photo to this article's media gallery and include the following information in the caption:

• a brief description of what you're selling
• the price
• the address where you'll be selling it

If you don't have a photo, you can post the information in this story's comments section. Email Oak Forest Patch editor Joe Vince at joev@patch.com if you have any questions.

Also, the city is accepting entries to be a part of the sale until Friday, May 10. Go to Oak Forest's website for an application form. The Oak Forest Citywide Garage Sale runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, May 17 to Saturday, May 18.
