Do you have things that your family no longer uses? Things like old toys, clothes or TVs? In Britain,
people collect things and sell them in a garage or yard. People often hold these sales at the weekend. They
put up an ad before the day. Then on the day they put out all the old things in front of their house. Usually
these things are cheap.
These sales are a good way for people to clean up their houses. Instead of just throwing things away,
people can make a little bit of money from them. Sometimes if the things are very old, people will give them
to charity. Some kids sell their old toys. Perhaps they played a game many times and now it bores them.
With the money they can buy a new toy!
