Whether it’s a set of mirrors for $3, or a reversable Harlem Globetrotters jersey – or maybe even a used hammer or screwdriver – few places can match the frugality and fun of the Ashmont Hill Yard Sale.
Last Saturday (May 16), the annual yard sale celebrated 46 years of dozens of locations selling or giving away unwanted items for bargain prices – with some bartering occasionally necessary.

Meanwhile, Donte Tyler (above) tried his best to sell a six-foot painting of Marilyn Monroe and Matt Rowe left Ocean Street with a great deal on a floor rug – 100 percent free.
The annual rite of spring lasted from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
