Safety Tips
Stay safe when buying and selling at yard sales.
How can sellers stay safe?
YardCrawl sellers should hold sales during daylight hours with at least one other person present. Keep cash secure, never allow strangers inside your home, remove your listing promptly after the sale ends, and trust your instincts to refuse any transaction that feels uncomfortable.
- Hold sales during daylight hours

- Remove your listing promptly after the sale ends
- Trust your instincts — you can refuse any transaction
How can buyers stay safe?
YardCrawl buyers should tell someone where they're going before visiting a sale. Inspect items carefully before paying, bring small bills to avoid change issues, and always meet sellers in the yard or driveway — never go inside a stranger's home.
