A great garage sale name is like a neon sign — it grabs attention, gets people curious, and helps your listing stand out on the national map.

And of course, more eyeballs on your sale listing = more shoppers flashing the cash at your sale.

Coming up with something clever can feel daunting, so we’ve rounded up some of the best names we’ve seen on the trail to get your creative juices flowing.

The Man Sale

We’re still not sure whether this described what was for sale or who it was for 🤔 

Honey, I sold the kids

No children were harmed or laws violated in the conducting of this sale.

10 things I hate about new

We loved this sale name from 2019. It’s cute, funny and nails what Garage Sale Trail is all about. 

The Only Lionel Vinyl sale 

This garage sale sold only (well, mostly) Lionel Ritchie vinyl. Not be confused with the Hello, Is It Me You’re Looking for Sale of 2016.

The almost deceased estate

Nuff said.

Crap & crepes

This sale from way back in 2017 saw two french girls selling their stuff and providing free crepes with every purchase. Oui oui.

Yaaard Sale

You know why the pirate crossed the road right? To get to the secondhand shop of course.

The really inexpensive department store

Exactly what a garage sale is when you think about it.

I like to move it move it

What’s not to like about a flashback to the Reel 2 Real days? 

Tips for naming your sale

If you want to cook up your own winner:

• Play with pop culture – films, songs, TV shows.

• Keep it short and snappy – the funnier or quirkier, the better.

• Show your vibe – vintage lover? Plant hoarder? Dog mum? Let it shine.

Remember: a good name means more people will see your listing.
