I live in an apartment, meaning I don’t have a yard. This also means I can’t have my much needed yard sale this coming summer.<\/p>\n

I’ve tried putting all my treasures on eBay, but I find once shipping costs are factored in, I’m just not impressed with my financial results.<\/p>\n

The other day I began looking into this phenomenon of craigslist. I know it’s been around for awhile, I’m just behind on the times. I’d assumed it was just another version of eBay.<\/p>\n

I was wrong. This is the virtual yard sale. Items are separated by their location, so we’ve eliminated the shipping costs by shopping locally. This is the answer to my lack of a yard.<\/p>\n

But now I’m left wondering what will happen to summertime yard sales with the advent of technology — driving, biking, walking around every weekend with your parents or friends looking for yard sales, sifting through other people’s unwanted goods in search of a treasure.<\/p>\n

Will traditional yard sales eventually disappear from our streets?<\/p>\n
