Looking for Garage Sales In Rochester? There’s an App For That

There's an app for that. But then again, if you do a lot of garage sailing, you know that already. My wife and I go out once in a while. Usually on the hunt for camping stuff and what not. I think my greatest find was actually found by accident.

For years, I looked for the "Dogs Playing Poker" picture. We had a bar in our basement when we lived in Wisconsin and I thought it would be a perfect fit. Well, while we were out one day, I picked up this beauty that now hangs in my garage.

As it turns out, the guy wasn't even selling it. He was using it to put motorcycle helmets on so they weren't directly sitting on his driveway. So I said, "Would you sell this?" And he said, "Sure. 10 bucks." I ended up talking him down to $7 and I've had it ever since.

Anyway, the app is worth checking out. It gets the garage sale ads from Craigslist. When you click on the highlighted address, it will take you directly to the ad and you can also get turn by turn directions through your navigation app.
