We have those. I've heard Americans refer to "garage sales". We
(Brits) have those sometimes, but more often we take stuff to a local
charity shop, or a school's "jumble sale", or stick stuff in the boot
(luggage compartment) of a car, drive with others to an empty field,
and have what called a "car boot sale"! :-)
