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.
