tailgate sell

Post by Itasan » Wed Feb 27, 2008 5:14 am

'the action of selling things, moving (usually by car),
not at a fixed store'
I wonder what is the English word for this.
1. tailgate sell?
2. tailgate sale?
3. mobile sale?

Thank you.

Itasan,

Yes, we do...

Boot Sale (People sell from the back of their car)

Americans prefer Garage sales. (People sell from their own garage)
or Yard Sales (Selling from your yard (garden BR)
