Yardsale is a new locally-produced app that combines the Craigslist buy/sell section, a thrift store, that free pile on the curb, and a third world street stall. That is, you can buy, sell, haggle, give things away, take things for free, and maybe even meet some of your neighbors — all through the comfort of your phone.
