Hey there... I'm looking for vintage/second hand clothing and the flea markets are great, but I am also looking for Garage Sales, or Estate Sales? I think they call then Car Boot Sales in UK... I just don't know what the German word is...

Thank you kindly!

A flea market here is known as a Flohmarkt. More than one and they're called Flohmärkte. Generally they sell from their car trunks (or what the British call 'boots') as well as on makeshift tables. A garage sale is a Garagenflohmarkt. With "Estate" sales, I take it you're referring to what the Brits call station wagons? As for yard sales, I've not seen them in Germany. Perhaps they're forbidden, but maybe somebody else can elaborate on that.
