A yard sale is a term used to describe an event where individuals sell their unwanted or second-hand items from their homes, typically in front yards or driveways. These sales are often advertised by placing signs along roadsides or distributing flyers in neighborhoods, inviting passersby to stop and browse the available merchandise. Items sold at yard sales can range from furniture, clothing, books, toys, electronics, and collectibles, among others. The prices are typically low as people are looking to get rid of their items quickly rather than make a profit. Yard sales are popular in many countries around the world and have become an established tradition for spring cleaning or downsizing homes.
