It's always a fun trip each year on the 127 longest garage sale in middle tenn . It's a whole week of hunting for treasures. We take our motorhome and camp out @ the bean pot campground in Crossville tenn ,which is in the center of the best picking. We tow a small SUV because traffic can be heavy @ times. Been doing it for 11 years. Picked up some great bargains like gas pumps , coke signs , clocks , oil signs and Ford and Chevy stuff. Last picture is stuff in the motorhome that we picked last year.
Don't miss it .....it starts Aug 2nd this year and a lot of people start early like Tuesday. It runs from Michigan to Alabama on route 127.
You meet some very friendly Pickers in tenn.
What did ya pick up?
When do they do this? How much were they asking for the big coke sign? This looks like a lot of fun:)
Edisonfan. We have picked so much over the 8 years it's to much to list. Some have been resold and some held in my collection. 1930 's 40's and 50's coke , oil and gas signs. Gas pump restored which we can fit in SUV. It good when you can find a small seller that may have an item that you want @ a fair price.
Trey. The sale runs from August 6th thru August 9th but must people go three to five days earlier. It starts in Michigan and runs down to Ala.on highway 127. You can google 127 sale and get more info. The traffic can get heavy during Friday and Saturday so you need to pick an area to say in. Rooms can book up real fast. We have a reservation set for every year @ a campground . It's in the center of some of the best picking. Crossville Tennessee is a good hub to work from for us.
Trey. I didn't get a price on the big Coke sign because they are hard to ship. The seller was asking around $ 2500 for his gas pumps and by the end of the sale he came down to $1200 on what was left. This guy tends to be high cause he specializes in oil and gas. Some sellers have better deals if they have only a few oil and gas items mixed in with their stuff.
Ok I've heard of that:) I would love to do this!!!
Trey : go for it.
I think I will:)
Great :)
Wow! I hate missing out on all that fun! Too bad you are so far away as we made that trip to NC to get our P-51 Mustang and got several signs while we're down that way but it cost us a fortune for the gas/hotels etc so we miss out on all the fun. Well, most of the fun!
Sale starts next week Aug 6th don't miss it. You will have a blast.
Mark your calendars.
Rattletrap: you need to check this sale out someday.
It’s that time of year again. Leaving today for the 127 longest garage sale .pick pick pick.
