yard sale

Neighborhood secondhand market

A yard sale is a sale of used household items held in a person's yard or driveway: We found an antique lamp at a yard sale down the street.

The seller typically displays items on tables or blankets, pricing them to clear out unwanted possessions.

Also called a garage sale, tag sale, or rummage sale depending on region.
