rummage sales
Secondhand goods events
Rummage sales are sales of secondhand goods, typically organized by churches, charities, or community groups to raise funds.
The items—clothing, household goods, books, toys—are usually donated and sold cheaply.
The term emphasizes the browsing aspect: buyers rummage through tables of miscellaneous items hoping to find something worthwhile.
Also called jumble sales in British English.
