"Yard Sale" is the 6th episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 78th episode overall. It aired October 31, 2012. The episode was written by Abraham Higginbotham and directed by Gail Mancuso.
Sofía Vergara submitted this episode for consideration due to her nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Manny (Rico Rodriguez) and Luke (Nolan Gould) have a school charity fundraiser and Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofia Vergara) decide to help them raise some money by holding a yard sale. In the process of it, Manny and Luke are looking for things to sell and they find an old trunk in the attic. When Gloria sees it she gets mad and takes it away from them. Her behavior makes the two boys curious and they want to see what Gloria is hiding from everyone.
Phil (Ty Burrell) discovers his old cycle and Claire (Julie Bowen) thinks he is finally going to sell it, but he is not. In the meantime, Jay wants to sell his motorcycle since he will not need it anymore, especially with the baby coming. To prove that he is not afraid of riding a motorcycle, Phil is riding it and goes for a test drive. But when he fends off from the house, he falls and he gets trapped under the motorcycle. It takes him a while to free himself and get back home. When he finally does, he admits that he is not a motorcycle-rider and he will not be buying the bike.
Cam (Eric Stonestreet) wants to sell his "fat-pants" since he does not need them anymore. Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) though, who is not very confident that Cam will keep his dietary practices going, struggles on how to tell him that he should not sell his pants because every time he loses weight and gains it back, he needs to buy new ones.
