Columbia's estate-sale density runs through Forest Acres, Shandon, and Heathwood — historic neighborhoods with longer tenure and deeper inventory. The State Fairgrounds Antique Mall and Capital City Stadium parking-lot flea markets are weekend regulars. Most local estate-sale companies post Tuesday or Wednesday for a Thursday-preview / Friday-Saturday public run.

Yard/garage sales are personal-household castoffs sold cheaply, usually one weekend. Estate sales are full-house liquidations (often after a death or move) with curated higher-value items and sometimes catalogs. Community sales are multi-household events — neighborhood, HOA, church, or block sales. Yardy covers all three plus weekend auctions. We deliberately do not list permanent storefronts like thrift shops or flea-market venues.
