The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Now, That's Some Linear Shopping-- Part 2

Today there are dozens of similar multi-state sales between April and October. Once a date has been set, anyone along the route can participate. These sales draw thousands of visitors looking for deals.

Importantly, it also acquaints then with back roads and they get a bit of highway history as well.

Patricia McDaniel, of Dublin, Indiana, started the Historic National Road Yard Sale along US-40 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of it. The Lincoln Highway Buy-Way Yard Sale started in 2005 to publicize the first transcontinental road. Yard sale traffic last year along it increased 200%.
