Yard sale

A garage sale is an informal, irregularly scheduled marketplace of used household goods, sold by the household which is finished with them. The seller displays their wares to the public, usually in a garage or in their yard (and then usually called a yard sale.). Staples of garage sales include old clothing, books, toys, and board games. Larger items like furniture and occasionally appliances are also sold. Garage sales are frequently held in suburbs. Garage sales are frequently held on a weekend, especially Saturday mornings.

Such sales have often been known to attract people who are after hard-to-find objects of previous eras or simply goods like furniture or camping goods at ridiculously cheap prices. Sometimes some people buy goods from these sales simply to restore or refurbish them.
