2026 WBYS Host Guide
Welcome to the Wicked Big Yard Sale.
This is our 4th one, and each year hosts not only clear out their homes, but many walk away with more cash than they expected.
This guide will walk you through what to do so you’re prepared, visible, and ready for the day.

What We Handle
We take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on your sale.
Marketing the event across the area
Driving traffic to participating homes
Handling your yard sale permit using the information you submitted
Coordinating the overall event
Getting the right people in front of the right opportunity is something we do all the time.
What You Should Do
Focus on getting ready early.
Start gathering your items now
Price everything ahead of time
Plan your setup so people can move through easily
The more prepared you are before the weekend, the easier the day will be.
How to Get More Traffic
We’ll drive traffic to the event.
The hosts who see the most activity are the ones who also make themselves visible.
Tell your neighbors and friends you’re participating
Share it in local Facebook groups if you’re comfortable
Put up clear signs 1–2 days before the event
The more stops there are, the more people are out that day.
Day of the Sale
A few things that make a big difference:
Set up early
Be fully ready by 8:00 AM
Make your space easy to browse
Have change ready
Keep things simple and organized
Most of the traffic comes early, so being ready at the start matters.
Final Note
We’ve done this multiple times, and the hosts who do best keep it simple, stay organized, and are ready early.
If you do that, you’ll be in a strong position.
