Are you sure? I've never heard yard sale used around here, it's always a garage sale.

Look at the telephone poles where people hang advertisements...most of the time they say "Yard Sale"

[Denman]

Car boot sale!

When the stuff is overpriced we call it an estate sale.

If I'm going out to shop, I always refer to it as going yard sale-ing. It's silly to call it a garage sale when the people don't even have a garage. Of course, once I had a strange little thought that it would be funny to go to a yard sale and sort of gesture in a vague way and ask "How much"? and when they give me a price, pay them and then get a shovel out and pretend I'm going to dig up their yard to take home... but then, I'm just odd.

For the most part, it's called a yard sale around here. But if you call it a garage sale, nobody will look at you funny.

Well, I voted for Yard Sale because people primarily set up the sales in their yard.
A garage sale would be selling stuff out of your garage.
I've never heard of a tag sale.
And if a group of several households get together for one big event, then it's a rummage sale.

From the Urban Dictionary....

1. tag sale
An east coast version of a garage sale. A sale put on by one or more houses in a neighborhood in which you sell belongings no longer used in the house.

Every time my dad sees a sign for a tag sale, he buys a whole lot more c*** that no one wants.

Silly geese, it's garage sale

[Conor Ryan]

I call it an Ebay Auction.

But Garage sale works for me too, Yard Sale just doesn't sound right.
