Topic awaiting preservation: Synonymes for... (Page 1 of 1)

(also at the GN)
I'm researching a bit, and I'm looking for different ways to name something that usually is called "garagesale", "yardsale", "fleamarket", things like that. You know what I mean.

I'm after different variations or synonymes for that kind of event, any suggestions?

Car boot sale is a similar one.

Or you could always try Trash 'n Treasure, White Elephant Sale, similar things to that, although that's usually the kind of stuff you would see at a fete.

Almost Free Junk
Cheap Treasure Trove
Antique Hunters' Gayla Extravaganza (or would it be gaylic?)

Jeez, I don't know. I hit the usual haunts and nothing much came up.

Rummage sale?

(And just a note -- all the ones you named should be two words, not one. In case you're planning to make some professional signs or something.)

Webster's lists "tag sale".
I would suggest "American crazy way to sale".
Or "What the heck this people are doing with all their stuff outside the house?"

estate auctions - the good stuff

Swapper's meet is another one that works... closer in flea market to meaning..

I passed a "barn sale" the other day.

ha, tough, I've registered all those domains as well!

Two words eh, I suppose you are right, that's a difference from swedish, we tend to join those kinds ow words a lot.
