White Elephant Sale
A White Elephant Sale is a collection of used items being sold by commonly but not always a non-professional group of individuals or a group or team of individuals, much akin to a yard sale or garage sale, but more often than not usually as a fund-raiser for a various cause.
==Etymology==
The terms refers to the Royal white elephants in Siam (Thailand). They were an honor bestowed by the king upon his people. However any owner could not work the animal yet it still required to be fed and maintained. A "white elephant sale" sells items that retain some value but have no intrinsic use; items are often referred to as white elephants. Ultimately value is only a matter for the purchaser.
