Re: What do you call a sale at your house of items that you have?

For the record, for the most part here in CT the following is true.

Tag Sale = Selling things at your house with tags on items as prices (so people don't ask you how much junk costs every 5 seconds).

Garage Sale = When it rains, you then call your tag sale a garage sale, cause that's where you have to frantically move the items and hope that people still come to it.

Rummage Sale = Church Tag Sale - Features specials like fill a paper bag with items for 5 dollars.

Estate Sale = Sale of items for people who died, usually handled by a private estate sale firm on behalf of the family..

Yard Sale - eh.. it's used in CT, but Tag Sale is more prevalent.

Flea Market = When you pay about 10-50 dollars at a public place to rent a table and/or spot to sell personal items hopefully at the end of the day making back that money, plus extra..


Wow.. I have no life...
But, with the warmer weather, Tag Sailing season is upon us, and I have to go find more junk to sit on shelves, and collect dust!! w00t.
