** We have done our Blue-Best to create as much hold space as we can but are certain that it will overflow quickly! Please be prepared and bring your own boxes with your names on them and/or those strong nylon-y bags to gather your stuff.

** The Valuables area will still host 2 people at a time and will limit time to :20 minutes per person.  Valuables area numbers will be passed out in line before we open.  Thanks in advance for your patience.

** Please park where appropriate and do not block neighbors driveways or on their lawns.  Nope, don’t do it.

** If you get to the sale before we open, please place a line marker on the driveway by the sign that says “line begins here”.  You may go back to your car or hang with your homies, but if you leave the area you will lose your place in line and that’s a sufficient enough reason to be a rule follower.

** Nothing for sale in the backyard

** The Blue Tape A Team does not assist with moving items

** HAVE FUN.  Always have fun!
