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

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...

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.

We've always used garage sale, sometimes yard sale. I've never heard of a tag sale before. We use garage sale because we set up our stuff in our garage to sell. Sometimes people will have so much stuff they will have their sale in their barn and call it a barn sale. But around here it's mostly garage sale.
