Join the Neighbourly Online Garage Sale on Saturday, September 27th. It’s free, local, and the easiest way to find new homes for the things you no longer need from spare tents and pre-loved books to clothes that deserve another spin.
How it works:
List your items individually before the day. Then, sit back as interested buyers on Neighbourly browse and get in touch directly.
And if you’re not selling?
There’s still treasure to be found! Jump online on the 27th and grab yourself a bargain or two.
Let’s turn clutter into community wins.
Don’t miss out!
