Yelp.com Review - by Cara Y.

5.0 of 5 stars. I hearts the WES. Not only is it for a great cause, I'm convinced it's the only place in the bay area where you can find BBW pantyhose, a first printing of Edward Gorey's "The Bug Book," size 16...

Yelp.com Review - by Michael B.

4.0 of 5 stars. HUGE, well sorted, well staffed. The prices are hit or miss for a garage sale (functionally) but the half off prices on Sunday leftovers are pretty stellar. The location leaves a bit to be desired...

Yelp.com Review - by Dan B.

3.0 of 5 stars. I loved this sale when we first went to it almost 10 years ago. Going back yesterday was like seeing Lucio Fulci's "Zombie" again: Still very cool, but a bit disappointing. The mere vastness of the...

Yelp.com Review - by R. M.

5.0 of 5 stars. This is my second year going here. It's pretty fun! The best part is that everything's very well sorted and organized. I use this as an opportunity to buy random kitchen gadgets I've sort- of wanted...

Yelp.com Review - by Renee N.

5.0 of 5 stars. Friends of mine have been raving about this sale for the past few years and even though I'd been to it previously, I failed to see the fantasticness of it all until I went (with my mom) on Tuesday....

4.0 of 5 stars. As the nights grow longer and I hear the constant holiday background droning of 'get me, buy me,' my thoughts fondly turn to spring and the Oakland Museum White Elephant Sale. I always come away with...

Yelp.com Review - by Mavis B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Even though I went to this a little too early to be drinking (my flea market m.o.), I had a good time. Everyone working there was really nice, though they get more aggressive about getting things out...

2.0 of 5 stars. I was pretty disappointed by the WES. I think I had really high expectations though. For the past 3 years I've wanted to go but always had something on calendar for the big weekend, so this year, I...
