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

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.

Before now, I had never in my life heard of a "tag sale" around here we have rummage/yard/garage sales.

In addition on special occasions when a whole town has a yard sale and lots of houses participate we call them "all around town days (sales)".
... just another for the list
