Garage SaleA garage sale (also known as a yard sale or rummage sale) is an informal, irregularly scheduled marketplace of used household goods. Typically the items will be unwanted items from the household conducting the sale. The seller displays their wares to the public, usually in a garage or in their yard. Staples of garage sales include old clothing, books, toys, and board games. Larger items like furniture and occasionally appliances are also sold. Garage sales occur most frequenlty in suburban areas, on good weather weekends. Such sales have often been known to attract people who are searching for bargains or for rare and unusual items. Some people buy goods from these sales to restore them for resale. Compare to: Estate sale, Car boot sale, Swap meet External Sites Article on garage sales
