Also known as a yard sale, estate sale, etc. In the UK they're additionally known as car boot sales and jumble sales, and usually take place at some pre-arranged location instead of in people's driveways.
For real-life purposes, garage sales are events where owners get rid of a mix of useless junk and clothing, books, and old electronics they don't use anymore. Buyers can pick up items cheaply. Parents sell their kids' outgrown clothing, toys, puzzles, and books. If you're lucky, you may find the occasional working appliance or power tool.
In fantasy fiction, garage sales are much more interesting. A wealthy retiree with a Mysterious Past may have old swords, ancient amulets, and magic tomes, and the occasional Call to Adventure out for sale.
Some common events:
One of the family members (usually an adult) decides that they just can't let some of their stuff go. They may end up trying to take items back from customers trying to buy them.
A child is put in charge of sales and ends up selling items for much too little due to inexperience. Or they attempt to sell something they want to get rid of, like an Annoying Younger Sibling.
A valuable item is accidentally (and incorrectly) sold, and the seller has to get it back before the owner notices it's gone.
Spouses will argue about "that awful ______" "but it's my lucky/favourite ______"!
The person holding the sale trying to convince someone that a worthless piece of junk is a valuable antique(or the inverse).
A joke related to someone wanting to buy the garage itself.

That '70s Show: The Foremans hold a garage sale. Red sells the Pocket Fisherman Bob had given him as a gift and assures Bob it wasn't a mistake because that was a dumb gift. Hyde decides to take advantage of the visitors to set up a bake sale offering "special" brownies. The Formans and the Pinciottis accidentally eat a tray of "special" brownies. Red, while high, sells Eric's car at the garage sale, forcing Eric and Hyde to drag him along as they track down the man who bought it to buy it back.

The Baby-Sitters Club book where the baby-sitters are running a fundraiser event with the local elementary school, and a few kids get the bright idea to run a garage sale! Cue a bunch of kids being yelled at for trying to sell daddy's books ("But you never read them!") or mommy's new shoes. I think the book was called Dawn and the Big Sleepover.
There were at least two of these. In one case it was a garage sale, and in another kids were donating their parents' stuff to disaster relief for their pen pals in New Mexico.

The Simpsons
In "Treehouse of Horror VIII" Homer buys a matter transporter from Professor Frink, which leads to Bart reenacting The Fly (1958).
The episode "Two Bad Neighbors" begins with a neighborhood-wide yard sale before a Halfway Plot Switch shows Homer feuding with new neighbor George H. W. Bush. When Flanders notices that someone bought the house, he notes that at least something was sold.
Homer buys Flanders' barbeque grill and his living room furniture at a very low price when Flanders puts a yard sale when his left-handed business was failing in "When Flanders Failed".
In "We're on the Road to D'ohwhere", the B-story is Marge having a yard sale, and accidentally becoming a drug dealer when people start buying the contents of the medicine cabinet.
Celebrity Rainier Wolfcastle holds a yard sale that the Simpsons attend. One of the items Homer bought was a weight set, which sends Marge down a path of bodybuilding.

Denis and Me: In the episode with the same name as this trope, Denis decides he has too much stuff and decides to hold a garage sale. He and Sir Meows-A-Lot both set up tables full of stuff to sell, but everyone prefers buying Sir Meows-A-Lot's inventions, which cause all sorts of chaos in the neighbourhood.

The list of fairs and markets in The Discworld Almanack includes the Ankh-Morpork equivalent of the car boot sale, the cart tail sale. This is organised by the Thieves' Guild, in reference to a comment Sir Terry Pratchett made on Usenet that car boot sales are where you go because you need replacements for your stolen garden tools, and end up buying your stolen garden tools.

In the The Loud House episode, "Come Sale Away", Lincoln and his sisters compete against each other to see who can make the most money at their annual garage sale. They get carried away and sell all the furniture, getting themselves grounded as a result. They also believe they accidentally sold Lily's security blanket, and try to buy it back from Flip by giving him all their garage sale money. It turns out that Lily's blanket was in the washing machine the entire time, and Flip conned the Loud kids out of their money by selling them identical fakes. Fortunately, Flip gets his comeuppance when the expired chemicals he bought from Lisa to use as windshield wiper fluid blows up his gas station. Also in the episode, Leni literally tries to sell the garage.

Family Matters: The last pre-Urkel episode, "Family Quilt," sees Laura accidentally sell the Winslows' heirloom quilt, which had been in the family for more than 200 years, after the quilt becomes mixed in with other merchandise at the family's garage sale. (Yes, plenty of other bad garage sale jokes abound in the meantime.) Laura realizes her mistake and after seeing her grandmother's thinly-veiled disappointment in her goes all out to get it back. The stubborn curator, who had bought the quilt for top dollar, won't budge and is actually prepared to go to court to get to keep this rare find, but Laura's tearfully impassioned speech finally gets the curator to relent.

Anywhere from four to six items might be offered at a time, and although most of the prizes were the more unusual offerings, not all of the prizes were worthless gag gifts (at least one "Garage Sale" included a trip to Hawaii, while others usually included such things as TVs and stereo equipment). The major difference between regular Instant Bargains and Garage Sales was that if the player eligible for this particular Instant Bargain passed, host Jim Perry would open up things to all three players and allowing them to possibly buy; he would simply lower the asking price as needed to as low as $1, until someone either bought the prizes or all three passed an a "no sale" was declared. Perry once remarked that Sale "Garage Sales" allowed contestants who were trailing by a large margin and probably not likely to win the game to come away with some nice merchandise he might not otherwise get a chance to win.

In episode 21 of Mimpi Metropolitan, Prima wants to sell the "trendy", unused clothes he bought for Bambang. Alan convinces Prima to sell them this way and gets some items from the others to sell. It goes pretty smoothly and Prima gets to learn some negotiating tricks from Alan.

Timmy's parents on The Fairly OddParents! got a "priceless" Ming vase at a garage sale for $1.
Mr. Birkenbake once ran an "I don't have a garage Garage Sale" from his van. Buying a lava lamp from it is how Timmy met Norm.

High Rollers: One of the special bonus games during the Wink Martindale era was called "Wink's Garage Sale," which — depending on the roll of a die, awarded the contestant either a prize or a worthless gag gift" (such as a Mickey Mouse phone that might have been purchased at a Goodwill store). The other numbers corresponded to more desirable prizes, one being a feature prize that was worth more than $3,000 and the others prizes worth anywhere from $500 to $2,000.

The Patrick Star Show: The Star family holds one in "The Yard Sale". Most of the items on sale are GrandPat's "old junk", but they're all actually from the various jobs he's had across history. Instead of letting people buy them, GrandPat just offers them a lollipop — most of them accept. At the end of the episode, GrandPat himself is sold to a family who needs a new grandfather.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Wrecking Ball opens with Greg holding a yard sale after doing spring cleaning. Among his objects for sale are one of his old diaries, broken toys, old birthday cards, and socks full of random objects. He is unable to sell anything, unconvincingly trying to use Very False Advertising. Greg's yard sale is eventually rained out and ends early.

In the Wimzie's House episode, "Please Don't Say That!", a garage sale is being held in the house of Mrs. Ferris, Wimzie's next-door neighbor. One of the things for sale at the garage sale is a red box worth 50 cents that Wimzie wants to buy so she can keep her accordion in it. Around this time, Yaya institutes a charity cup, with one cent going into the cup every time someone says "stupid" in response to Wimzie and her friends calling each other stupid. When Wimzie forgets to watch her language, it compromises her plan to buy the red box, so she chooses to stay home when her friends and Yaya go to the garage sale. In the end, it is revealed that Wimzie's friends bought the box for her.

Mr. Krabs from Spongebob Squarepants has a yard sale of all his garbage and lies through his teeth to get people to buy his junk, including selling SpongeBob a soda-drink hat with a "#1" on the front. He finds out moments after SpongeBob leaves that the hat is actually worth a fortune and spends the rest of the episode trying to get it back.
