DESCRIPTION:

National Garage Sale Day is traditionally done on the second Saturday of August.

Garage sales grew out of the port custom of ships captains that used to sell off excess and unclaimed cargo on the docks at a discount. These were called ‘rummage sales’. Around the turn of the last century, charities and churches began using the concept of selling second hand goods in a centralized location to raise money. These were technically ‘yard sales’.

The US army got into the picture using a similar approach to unload surplus gear and supplies. Post WWII, with the mass exodus from the cities to the suburbs, individual families began selling off what they couldn’t move from their garages…and an American institution was born.

National Garage Sale Day is a grassroots effort in the US. The largest garage sale of the year occurs over an entire weekend and covers the entire nation of Australia. That event is called the Great Garage Sale Trail.
