About the Sale
​The White Elephant Sale has almost 20 departments in a warehouse nearly twice the size of a football field. There is absolutely something for everyone of any age, from bassinets to bicycles, fur coats to garden flamingos, paper clips to handmade pottery, sterling silver trays to top brand sewing machines. We’ve been collecting donations all year and now it’s time for you to come shop for them.
The Preview Sale is a ticketed event for shoppers to get early access to the merchandise.
​
Public Shopping days give shoppers a chance to shop for $5; many come multiple times since volunteers continuously add new-to-you merchandise throughout the warehouse. The truck will be picking up donations every Public Shopping Day to ensure that new items will constantly be coming in. Note that there will be a 10% surcharge on purchases during Public Shopping Days.
The Blow Out Sale is two free days of warehouse shopping for everyone who loves a bargain.
​
The White Elephant Sale benefits the Oakland Museum of California.
