"There's no reason why this can't be done two or three times a year," Deputy Mayor Adam Gussen said at Tuesday's . 

More than 250 people signed up for the sale on Sunday, according to Township Manager William Broughton. 

"It was a very good idea," Broughton said. "It really took off."

Residents were able to register their home address online and the township published a list of sales online. Township Executive Assistant Issa Abbasi credited a Google Map allowing residents to pinpoint the location of every sale. 

One apparent consequence of the event popularity was traffic, and Councilman Mark Schwartz said the town should include a reminder about proper parking with any advertisements.
