The Yard Sale is a great way to turn little-used
and unwanted items from every room and closet in your apartment into quick cash -- and
have a wonderful time in the process! Ours is one of the best-organized and most
eagerly anticipated block parties on the Upper West Side.
When all vendor spaces have been reserved, we will take reservations for the waiting list in case we have any cancellations.
This page contains information
prospective vendors need to know about the Block Association's Yard
Sale. It also contains the agreement vendors must sign before the Block

Cell phone number (for the purpose of notifying the vendor coordinator
Saturday morning that you will be late) will be available here Friday
evening, September 24.
What you may and may not
sell
Vendors may sell just about anything, except food and drinks. Books
may not constitute more than 50 percent of your selling stock. Used items sell best; new items tend not to sell
well. This is, after all, a yard sale!
Who benefits from the Yard
Sale?
The Block Association raises money for its activities and programs by selling vendor
spaces, food and drink, books, T-shirts, and silent auction items. You keep the proceeds from the sale of your
goods.
TOP
Refunds
We will refund your cleared vendor payment if you notify the
vendor coordinator by Saturday, September 11 or you may
chose to donate the fee to the Block Assciation. If you cancel with
the vendor coordinator between September 15 and 23, we can
refund your cleared vendor payment only if we are able to re-sell your
space.
There is no refund if you cancel
on September 24 or 25. There is no refund if you do not show up
on Saturday, September 25, the day of the Yard Sale. There
is no refund if you cant make the rain date, Sunday, September
26.
If you have not arrived by 10:00
a.m. on September 25 or have not called the Yard Sale
vendor coordinator by then to let him know your arrival time, we
will consider you a no-show and re-sell your space.
This agreement is not transferable.
TOP
If we cancel
If we are forced to cancel or invoke the rain date, that decision will
be made no later than 9:00 p.m. on Friday, September 24. You
will know that we have cancelled or invoked the rain date by one of
the following three methods:
| - |
If you have given
us your e-mail address |
The vendor
coordinator will send you an e-mail message |
| - |
If you have
Internet access |
The homepage of
the block association's website will indicate that we have cancelled
or invoked the rain date |
| - |
If you have no
e-mail or Internet access |

Day
of the Yard Sale
When
to arrive
You may start setting up after 8:00 a.m. on September 25. If
you havent arrived by 10:00 or havent called the Yard Sale
vendor coordinator's
cell phone by then to let him know your arrival time, we will consider
you a no-show and re-sell your space. The coordinator's cell phone number
will be available on this page Friday evening, September 24.
Getting your space
assignment
See the Yard Sale vendor coordinator or one of his assistants who will
direct you to your pre-assigned space. (If you provided us with your e-mail
address, we will have e-mailed you your space assignment number by Friday,
September 24. Please do not phone asking for your space assignment number.)
TOP
About parked cars on the
block
The block association makes every effort (short of towing) to remove parked cars from the
block. We cannot guarantee, however, that your space will be car-free. We are sorry
but we cannot reassign you to a car-free space. If your space has a car in it, please be
aware that the driver may show up at any time and need to move off the block. We ask for
your patience and understanding.
TOP
Emergency matters
New York City fire department regulations require that we leave five feet free on either
side of our two fire hydrants. The police department requires that we leave enough room
down the middle of the street for emergency vehicles (fire, police, ambulance) to pass.
Please cooperate by not spilling over into a fire hydrant space or too far into the
street. Your space measures 10 feet wide by approximately 8 feet deep.
TOP
After the Yard Sale
The Yard Sale is over at 5:00 p.m. We hope you will have had a profitable and fun
day!
Cleaning up
You are responsible for cleaning your space at
the end of the day. The block association will provide you with two
large garbage bags into which you must put your leftover items and carry the
closed bags to the corner of West
End Ave. and 104th St. If you do not bring your bagged leftover
items to the corner, and your
space has not been cleaned, you will not be permitted to participate in next years Yard
Sale.
