Not exactly the same.

At a garage sale you find the things that people don't want or consider 
to be of lesser value, or no value.

An estate sale is typically for someone who has died or is moving to 
another country and selling off the contents of a home, so the things 
that they valued and stored in the home (not the garage) are included. 
Like record collections, silverware, furniture, good china, and the 
wearable clothes as well as the discards. And the trash in the garage.

Or maybe that's what you meant to say?

All of my Berliners came from a garage sale, for example. Never found 
one in a garage sale. Anyone here ever found a really valuable record in 
a garage sale?
