"Everybody loves bargain (减价品). " is a famous saying. In our daily life, one person's useless or broken object may be another person's bargain. That is why Americans don't throw things away. And they put up a "For Sale" sign to have a yard sale.
Over the years, many people's houses have been filled useless objects. It seems wasteful to throw them away. The sellers put an ad (广告) in a newspaper first. It tells others when and where the yard sale will take place. Early in the morning, people take their things out of the house.
Anything can be sold at a yard sale, such as old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing. However, some people don't sell their old things. Later, they may hold their own yard sales to sell all the things they have bought.

They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. D. They put them outside their houses. E. Then they sit all day waiting for someone to take them home. |
