car boot sale

Vehicle-based bazaar

A car boot sale is a British outdoor market where people sell used goods from the backs of their cars—the boot being the trunk.

Sellers pay a small fee to park in a field or car park and hawk whatever they've brought: clothing, toys, kitchenware, old records.

We found a vintage lamp at a car boot sale.

The American equivalent is a yard sale or garage sale, though those happen at home rather than a communal venue.
