When a junkie dirt squirrel goes through all your stuff flinging it around looking for shit to steal.
That dirt squirrel yard saled my room and stole my dope.
I came home last night and my entire house was yard saled

A fire sale is the sale of goods at extremely discounted prices. ... They are said to occur in the in Cannabis markets when illegal outdoor grows and overzealous i502 producer/processors flood the market with mediocre weed. Companies then have to take their FIRE ass weed and sell it as a FIRE sale to prevent it from overflowing our vaults like Scrooge McDuck’s.

"The desirability of and/or your need for an item at a garage sale will be in direct inverse proportion to the likelihood of your actually being able to purchase it."
The four most common/infuriating occasions when Murphy's Law of Garage Sales holds true:
(1) A desired item is something that's just stored in the family's garage; it’s not one of the items for sale.
(2) The item has already been sold, and the homeowner is just “holding” it till the buyer gets back with either the money or a vehicle to transport the item to his own home.
(3) The item is too expensive, and the seller will not budge on the price. (Note: this is not always an "all hope is lost" situation --- you may have at least two additional options. First, try coming back again later in the day to see if the item is still unsold --- if YOU think that the item is overpriced, then most OTHER yard-sailers may think so, too, and so nobody else may have bought the item yet, either, giving you a second crack at possibly purchasing it at a reduced price, especially since by now the seller may likely feel a bit "desperate" to get rid of it. And second, have a glance at the trash-heap out front of the person’s house that evening --- sometimes unsold yard-sale items will simply be tossed out, and so you can then get them for free.)
(4) The item is something that you would logically want to test out first to make sure it operates satisfactorily, but there is no hookup for electricity/water/telephone/internet/antenna/audio/video at the site of the sale, and the stubborn owner will not allow you to either bring the item into his house or temporarily take it somewhere else to test it.

Canadian 2009,
The selling of any items and or "Stuff" you cant find a use for, Also , all things you dont know what function they serve.
May also include all things ...smelly, broken,delapitated, worn out, banged up, etc...
One may find such "Sales" taking place in and around large cities and towns or villages all across the land organized by people who are in extreme need of financial help and /or very needy of cash!
