How to Post Your Garage Sales on Patch

It's nearly June, which means most of us have made a dent in our spring cleaning — which also means garage and yard sale season is in full swing.

Here at Palatine Patch we pride ourselves on local, useful information. That includes who has books for a bargain, a dresser in their driveway or some clothes laid out on the lawn.

Posting your garage sale on Palatine Patch is easy. What's even better is it's free. You must be registered on Patch and logged in to enter an event, so do that first at . 

Then click on our "Events" tab on the top of the page and where it says "Add an Event" near the top right corner. Or just click here.

Fill out the information in the form. You can enter as little or as much as you'd like but be sure to enter your address and check off "Garage Sales" under categories. When you're all done, click on the "Post My Event" button on the bottom left of the screen, and voila!

You can even upload photos of the stuff you're selling, if you have photos of it.

If you're just looking to visit a few garage sales around town, click on "Events" and then "Garage Sales" and you'll be on your way in no time.

It's that easy totally free.

Local non-profit reminder: If you host a sale and have a few leftovers that didn't sell, consider donating them to a local charity.
