> When *I* do that sort of stuff I call it "kirpputori" which is Finnish for "flea market". The poll didn't have an option for either "flea market" or "other" so I had to choose "jumble sale" which my old English schoolbook said was pretty much equivalent to "flea market".

Where I grew up, a "flea market" was a permanent or semi-permanent establishment that sold the same kind of junk that you could find at garage sales.

I never understood the point of it, really.

People on my street seem to call their sales "garage sales", even though they don't have garages.
