A residential event where individuals offer personal belongings for sale, typically held in a driveway, yard, or garage. This type of localized market allows community members to buy and sell used items directly from one another. These sales often feature a diverse range of goods, including clothing, furniture, household items, and tools.
Such events offer several advantages, including opportunities for decluttering, resource conservation through the reuse of items, and the creation of community connections. They provide a platform for affordable shopping and often involve negotiation, fostering a unique economic exchange. Historically, these sales have evolved from informal neighborhood exchanges to more organized and advertised events, reflecting societal trends in consumption and sustainability.
