yardsailing 

Yardsailing is the act of driving around town searching for yard sales.

Yardsailing is usually done by people who buy random things for a cheap price and sell on eBay for way more than what it's worth.

Yardsailing is also practiced by people who enjoy going to yard sales for the fun of it.

A person who goes yardsailing is known as a yardsailor. Yardsailors typically wake up early, search newspaper adds, and stay out till every last yard sale has been sailed.

Yardsailors are not to be confused with passerby's who stop at a yard sale just to have a look.
"Check out that yardsailor! Man, his car is filled to the top with old yard sale junk!"

"WAKE UP! WE'RE GOING YARDSAILING!"

"Who knew this crappy chair I got for 2 bucks would sell for 40 dollars on eBay! I'm glad I went yardsailing!"

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
