[namenut]

Hello Mates,

I'm sure we've had one or gone to one.
What do you call "them" in your neck of the woods?

Garage Sale

Yard Sale

I call it a yard sale.

In Canada they are called "garage sales". I understand they are mostly called "yard sales" in the US. Just to confuse things further, in the UK this sort of activity is usually called a "car boot sale" (ie: selling things out of your car boot (or trunk) from an organized location such as a school yard (usually on a Sunday). Then there's the "rummage sales" (Canada) and "jumble sales" (UK)...There doesn't seem to be a universal term for any of these type of activities.

Yard sale all the way, my wife says garage sale. She also says pop and I say soda, oh well.

Yard sales turn into a garage sales when it rains.

Garage & Yard both here in SoCal, but I think "Garage Sale" is more prevelant

It would depend on rather it was in a garage or in a yard.

Uk is a garage sale, open house to all---- then you get the young kids coming round then they rob you, so sometimes its called theft

I'm in Canada (The Maritimes) and to me garage sale and yard sale
are the same. I'll say either one. I Googled pages just from Canada
and get:
736,000 for "garage sale"
340,000 for "yard sale"
So I guess garage sale wins here.
