car boot sale سوق البيع من صندوق السيا رة

Explanation:
This is a market prevalent in some western countries where people sell odd items from the trunks of their cars. See link provided by MrNuga. To my knowledge, such a market might not exist in arab countries, so a descriptive translation might be appropriate here.

It should be noted that a 'flea market' is not neccessarily conducted out of the trunks of cars. I have been to many flea markets in the U.S. that were organized indoors in stalls. Here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flea_market
