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

Yard Sale is gaining preference around here due to the fact that items are usually displayed in the yard, not the garage.

Team 330's yard sale in March got rained upon. The southern California problem: it doesn't rain most weekends, but if it does rain, there's no room in the garage to move the sale in there. We survived with tarps. Being forewarned by the National Weather Service was helpful, too.

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..

We call these a swap meet, even though you don't meet swaps there, any more than you can buy fleas at a flea market. I seem to recall that we were trying to sell premium passes to a prominent local swap meet at our team's yard sale. I include these trivial facts for the sole purpose of confusing people.
