ATTN Bargain Hunters!

Posted by camille – August 6, 2008 9:51 AM

The World's Longest Yard Sale starts tomorrow! That's right, put on your comfiest shoes, fill your pockets with small bills, hydrate up and start your engines. If you live anywhere near Highway 127 in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama or Georgia — you are only hours away from 654 miles of bargains. From homeowners along the route who are simply cleaning house to antique dealers who travel from far and wide to set up shop on Hwy 127, there's a little bit of something for everyone in every price range imaginable.

For more info and a map of the sale route, check out the World's Longest Yard Sale official website.

Before hitting the road, check out these tips for attending the sale from an HGTV expert and veteran longest yard sale shopper.

As in previous years, HGTV hosts Stephen Lee and Elyse Luray will be shopping this year's sale, chatting with dealers and shoppers and highlighting the most interesting or valuable items they find along the route. This year's special won't air until October (they're taping it now) but who knows, if you're one of the lucky folks to meet up with our hosts, then you may have your moment in the spotlight and end up in this year's special.

This year's sale runs Thursday, August 7 through Sunday August 10, 2008.

If you think you'll miss this year's sale, then mark your calendar for 09, which is scheduled for August 6-9, 2009.

Happy Bargain Hunting!
