• Participate in One of the World's Biggest Yard Sale Events
  With a convenient location in a vibrant community, Mansfield homes for sale are ideal for getting involved with the Lincoln Highway Buy-Way Yard Sale. Mansfield is located along the Lincoln Highway and will be one of the hundreds of communities hosting local yard sales on the route. Some cities have loads of individual sales, while others feature city-wide sales in one location.

• A Great Opportunity to Make Some Cash and De-clutter Your Home
  Whether you're buying, selling, or just trying to enhance your living space, there's no doubt that de-cluttering your home is a goal worth pursuing. So why not earn some cash in the process? A yard sale presents the ideal opportunity to get rid of clutter around the home and make a few bucks in the process. Rather than renting a storage unit for unused stuff, why not help useful items find a new home at one of the world's biggest yard sales?

• Tips for Hosting a Successful Yard Sale
  Organization is the key to a successful yard sale, both in how you prepare and how you present your wares to buyers. Start by cleaning out garages and other storage spaces, getting rid of unnecessary items, and setting aside anything worth selling. Make sure you have enough tables to display your goods during the sale and organize things in a logical way. Consider a price in advance for each item you're selling, but always remain willing to negotiate. Once visitors start arriving, be a friendly host, make conversation, and help people find what they need. Since the Buy-Way Sale is a big event, you have the advantage of free publicity for your sale.

• Shop 'til You Drop along the Lincoln Highway
  Hosting a sale at your Mansfield home is a great way to spend part of the weekend, but what if you want to shop, too? No problem! Start in Mansfield, and travel along the Lincoln Highway to the destination of your choosing. Along the way, you're likely to see plenty of signs for yard sales, both on and off the highway.
