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

[JakeGallagher]

Seems to me that Tag Sale is losing, and I'm willing to bet most of the votes are from Elgin's friends...I think you were wrong on that one, Dr Clock.

This is from Pelan, a kid from CT...

pelan: everyone else is just not cultured enough to understand the high-brow concept of yard sale

Elgin has been proven wrong by his own cohort! mwahaha

I never heard that rule. Things are different here down in Da Cutt. For example, a very small minority of us put our ice cream in the fridge .

Garage Sale--When you put your random junk in your garage and people come and buy it
Tag Sale--When... you sell tags?
Yard Sale--When you sell your junk and put it on the grass for people to look at

We use both around here. but I prefer garage sale sale because you are selling all the old crap that is sitting in your gargae or will be if you don't sell it.

I've never heard of tag sale before this, it's a GARAGE SALE in my house, and yard sale is usually on the signs on street corners. (My theory: It's shorter than garage sale, so you can make the letters bigger on your sign! So that's how yard sale won over garage sale.)

And my parents haven't heard of tag sale either, and Mom grew up on the east coast and she hadn't heard of tag sale either.

This is intriguing... it's most definately garage sale though. I'm from the Midwest were we hear everything from both sides of the country and I have never in my 18 years of life heard of a tag sale... let alone seen one! I don't know what I would do if I did see what...

(Is this thread here to make fun of Easterners? B/c if it is it's working! LOL)

This is a kinda random side note, but there was a subdivision-wide garage sale in my sub this past weekend, and they put out a big sign by the road, which said "Sub Sale". The first thought that came to my mind was "...why are they selling sandwiches?"

Yeper... same here. It's a garage sale in my neck of the woods, which is obviously the majority of the country.

My family, friends, and I call it a garage sale. Everyone in our general area has a garage unless they are redoing it or live in the apartments.

Tag sales were what we did in girlscouts to help out Clearbrook Center. We stood in front of the local Jewel and sold these ugly red tags that gave discounts on donuts.
