Getting started

What is WasteOfSpace?
WasteOfSpace maps the yard sales, estate sales, and pop-up markets near you. You can browse what's on the tables, plan a route between several sales, ask hosts to hold items, and post your own sale. Deals happen locally, in person — there's no shipping and no payment in the app.
Do I need an account?
You can browse sales without one, but you'll need a free account to save sales, message hosts, ask for a hold, or post your own sale.
Which devices will it run on?
WasteOfSpace is launching on iOS and Android. Your account works on both.

Finding & buying

How do the filters work?
Filter the list by Today, This weekend, Under $10, or Free pile. Results are sorted by how close each sale is, and every listing shows the hours, neighborhood, and sale type.
Can I search for a specific item?
Yes — search items directly (like "record crate" or "mid-century") and see what's actually on the tables, with photos and prices, before you decide where to drive.
How do I plan a crawl?
Drop several sales onto one route and hand it off to your Maps app. Pins show how far each stop is and which sales are closing soon.
How does asking a host to hold something work?
On a listing, ask the host to set an item aside. If they approve, you get a pickup code and a countdown showing how long it's held. There's no payment in the app — you pay the host at the driveway, like always.

Saving & alerts

What do saved sales do?
Bookmark a sale and we'll alert you about two hours before it closes, or when a new sale matching your list opens nearby. Saved sales clear themselves once they've ended, so your list stays current.

Hosting a sale

How do I post a sale?
Pick a type, set your hours, drop the pin, and photograph a few of your best items — it takes about two minutes. Your exact address stays hidden until the morning of the sale.
Can I message buyers and mark things sold?
Yes. You can message interested buyers, mark items sold as they go, and see how many people are actually looking at your sale.

WasteOfSpace Pro

What's included in Pro?
Pro adds sale insights (views, saves, peak hours, and which items people keep opening), unlimited live sales, early alerts, and unlimited saved sales.
How do I manage or cancel my subscription?
Pro is billed through your App Store or Google Play account. Manage or cancel it anytime from your device's subscription settings; access continues until the end of the current period.

Account & privacy

How do I delete my account and data?
Go to Me → Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently removes your listings, messages, saved sales, and profile from our servers. You can also email support@wasteofspace.io from your account email and we'll handle it.
Is my exact location shared?
No. The app uses an approximate location to show nearby sales, and a host's exact address stays hidden until the morning of their sale. See the privacy policy for the full picture.
