Unsanctioned, crowd-sourced 100% off sales on high-fashion clothing, handbags and accessories at stores such as Nordstrum and Neiman Marcus. Commonly referenced in mainstream media as "Grab-and-run robberies" or "organized retail theft," Flashmob Sales generally involve the redistribution of symbols of capitalist wealth in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars, taken from icons of retail excess and redistributed to those in need of a fashion upgrade for the holidays.
Rumored to be inspired by the Bob Dylan lyric, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and the make you king," the proponents of Flashmob Sales are under the apparent belief that if enough people steal a ton of items all at once, the internet will cheer them on and the police will simply go back to finding unarmed civilians to shoot for sport.

Get the Flashmob Salemug. "I tried to sell my So Solid Crew, More Fire Crew and Big Brovas albums at a garage sale for 50p, but no-one would buy them so I had to throw them in free with a box of out of date Maltesers."

Get the Sales Makermug. In lacrosse, one player stick-checks another, knocking his stick out of his hand. Usually followed up by a loud chorus of "YARD SALE!!!" or "Hey, how much for that stick?"
Player: "Dude, did you see that guy get Yard Saled?"
Player 1: "That guy just got wrecked!"
Player 2" "Hey, #43, how much for that stick?"

Get the Yard Salemug. People place used household items, clothes, etc. in their yard and offer them for sale. Usually held on a week end, a "yard sale" often involves one, or a few families who pool their unwanted items to sell, often very cheaply.
Parallel term: "Yard saliing." To drive about from yard sale to yard sale.
