Highway 64 bargins galore

How many of you am I going to see out on 64 this weekend

[Tupin]

Is this an event or something?

If you live in north western Arkansas its like the greatest thing that ever happens. 150 miles of yard sales leading to the largest flea market in the state. Also on Saturday is the big video game expo in Tulsa but I don't think I'll get to make it to that.

I've heard about that giant 'garage sale', but I haven't been. Let us know if it's worth the gas money and effort, as far as classic games go!

[murdoc rose]

I bagged a fair amount of games about 100 carts last year so I think its worth it , but thats just me.

Is this the same as the Lincoln Highway Buy-Way? It's considered the biggest garage/yard sale in the U.S. It takes place along the entire length of the Lincoln Highway, which was the first coast-to-coast marked road in the U.S. (though the Buy-Way event only runs through the upper midwest states).

same concept, different road.

Okay, you got my interest. I hadn't heard of this - where does it start/end at? Since I'm only an hour away, it might be worth the trip.

I know exactly what you're talking about. My fiancee and I hit a bunch of sales on Hwy 64 on the way to PDF's house back in 2004. I remember that we didn't find squat, absolutely nothing. Still, sometime I'd like to try again.

Gotcha. I've heard the LHBW called a bunch of different things - usually depending on what section of the road you're on. I just took a guess that Hwy 64 was part of it. And it's the same weekend, so it was easy to make the connection. :villagepeople:

well to me it starts in fort smith/van buren and ends up in bb at the flea market.
I think its actually said to start in bb and end in fort smith.

[k8track]

What is bb?

EDIT: OK, did some clever googling and it looks like "bb" is Beebe, is that correct?

[murdoc rose]

lol yea thats right, sorry about the confusion.

U.S. 127 Yard Sale is going on right now, world's largest, stretching 650 miles from Ohio to Alabama, Aug. 7-10th. And since I live on 127, it's literally right outside my front door :D
