LootAura is a map-first yard sale finder that lets you discover and host local yard sales, garage sales, and estate sales.
What is LootAura?
LootAura is a free, community-powered platform that shows every local yard sale on an interactive map. Buyers input a ZIP code, date range, and category to see nearby sales with photos, times, and directions. Sellers list their sale in under five minutes by entering an address, dates, photos, and a description — then their sale appears on the map for active local buyers. The service runs as a web app at lootaura.com and is available as a free app on Google Play (not yet specified, but existing description states "Available free on Google Play and at lootaura.com"). The company behind it is not named on the page.
