Can anyone help with this word/term?

When I was young, children often used to sell their old toys, books, comics etc outside their home. They would spread their belongings out on the pavement at their gate and sell them to passers-by.

Can anyone remember what the word or term was for these sales?

Some friends and I have been racking our brains trying to remember it, and there have been several suggestions from other people, so I know that it isn't any of the following:

jumble sale

yard sale

second-hand stall/sale

charity stall/sale

garage sale

car boot stall/sale

rummage sale

I think it was a word/term that applied specifically to this type of sale - not a general word or term.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update:

Thanks Hayley, but that's not it either. Maybe it was just a word or term used in Lancashire.
