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.
This document contains information prospective
vendors need to know about the Block Association's Yard Sale. It is also the
agreement vendors must sign before the Block Association will rent them a space.
Before the Yard Sale
When and where it is
The 2007 Yard Sale will take place
Saturday, September 29 (rain date September 30), from 10:00 a.m. to

between West End Ave. and Riverside Dr.

Space rental size and cost
Each space measures 10 feet wide by approximately 8 feet deep. The 2007 fees

We sell approximately 65 spaces. We

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 28.
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 15. If you cancel with the vendor coordinator between
September 16 and 27, we will refund your cleared vendor payment if we are able to re-sell your
space.
There is no refund if you cancel on
September 28 or 29. There is no refund if you do not show up on
Saturday, September 29, the day of the Yard Sale. There is no refund if you cant make the
rain date, Sunday, September 30.
If you have not
arrived by 10:00 a.m. on September 29 or havent 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 28.
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 |
Call 212 932 3739
to hear a pre-recorded message |
If the Yard Sale is canceled entirely, your fee
will be refunded in full with a block association check.

Day of the
Yard Sale
When to arrive
You may start setting up after 8:00 a.m. on September 29. 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
28.
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 28. 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.
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.
