A Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace Alternative for Garage Sales
Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace carry all kinds of listings. If you only want garage and yard sales, Get Garage Sales puts them on one garage sale map in your browser: narrow to today, tomorrow or this weekend, save the sales you like, and send up to four stops to Google Maps in the order you choose.
Craigslist vs Get Garage Sales
| Feature | Craigslist (public help pages) | Get Garage Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Map browsing | Its “ways to view search results” help page lists list, thumb, grid, gallery and map views; in map view, postings are shown on a map and you click a pin for more information. | Map of sales posted on Get Garage Sales for the city, radius and filters you choose, in any phone or desktop browser. |
| Date filters | Its filtering help page says some categories have attributes for refining a search; the help pages we checked do not describe today, tomorrow or weekend pages. | A Today only filter on the map, plus separate today, tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and this-weekend pages. |
| Saved sales | Its account features help lists a favorites list, saved searches and search alerts for account holders. | Save listings to a Saved sales page in your browser. |
| Route planning | The help pages we checked do not describe a route planner. | Up to four stops in an order you set yourself with Up/Down; opens the sequence in Google Maps. No automatic optimization. |
| Posting a sale | Its posting fees page says all craigslist postings are free except listed categories (such as jobs, some apartment rentals, by-dealer sales, cars/trucks by owner in the US, gigs and services). | Free posting so your sale can appear on the local map with photos and hours. |
| Address timing | The help pages we checked do not say when a garage sale address is shown to shoppers. | The address stays hidden until sale morning to protect sellers; on sale day, eligible listings can be imported into the route planner. |
| App vs browser | Its app page invites you to try the official craigslist mobile app for iOS and Android, alongside its website. | Browser only; nothing to install. |
Competitor details checked November 7, 2026. Craigslist details come from its help pages, posting fees page and app page. Facebook Marketplace's Help Center did not load for us on that date, so we make no claims about its features; see their site. Features and fees can change; check each site for the latest.
Which one fits how you shop?
Everything in one place: if you also want to browse furniture, jobs, housing and more, Craigslist's help pages describe search, filters, map view and a favorites list across its categories.
Garage sales only, no install: if you want dedicated garage sales today and weekend pages, a saved sales list in your browser, and a short loop of up to four stops you order yourself before opening Google Maps, Get Garage Sales keeps it simple.
Sellers: you can post a garage sale free here so it shows on the local map. For a wider look at other options, read our guide to garage sale apps and websites.

Craigslist garage sales alternative FAQs
Is Get Garage Sales free like Craigslist?
Yes. Viewing the map, date pages, saved sales and route planner is free, and posting a garage sale is free too. Craigslist's posting fees page says all its postings are free except a listed set of categories such as jobs, gigs, services and some housing and vehicle ads.
Can I see garage sales on a map?
Yes. Get Garage Sales shows posted sales on a map for the city and radius you pick. Craigslist's help pages say its search results can also be shown in a map view, where you click a pin for more information.
How do I find sales happening today or this weekend?
Use the Today only filter on the map, or open the today, tomorrow and this-weekend pages, which list sales posted for those days.
How do I plan a route between sales?
Save sales you like, then on sale day import up to four eligible listings into the garage sale route planner, set the stop order with Up/Down, and open that sequence in Google Maps.
What about Facebook Marketplace?
Facebook explains how Marketplace works in its Help Center. We could not load those help pages when we checked, so we do not compare its features here; see Facebook's Help Center for the latest.
The map only shows sales that sellers have posted here, so coverage depends on what has been posted near you. Pick your city and radius on the map; if it is quiet, widen the radius or check this weekend's listings. We make no claim that any service lists every sale in your town.
