Advantages: lots of bargains, quick to sell!

Disadvantages: you have to be there early

Car Boot sales are a great way to make some easy money, tax free! I did my first car boot sale about 3 years ago when me and my boyfriend decided we needed to make some money. We got all our old things together, cd's, dvd's, clothes, books etc, and then went round to my parents. We raided the cellar and came out with lots of old toys and games which we cleaned up and took to the car boot sale.

Its mad when you first get there, as you start to unload the car, people crowd around and try take things out of your boot, but we had sold a huge amount before we even put it on the table! Its best to get a pasting table and a cloth to put over it and arrange your items however you like.

The toys sold really well. Also DVD's and CD's go really well too. Even some electronic items such as a mobile and laptop sold well. We ended up making over £100 in an hour which I thought was good.

Since then I do car boot sales whenever I can get enough stuff together. They are quite fun. The only downside is that you have to get there early to get a good spot. We have arrived at 6:30am in the past, but you can get away with arriving about 7:30 - 8am. We dont often stay long either, usually leaving before 10am, so it doesnt interrupt your day.

You can also go have a look around while one of you waits and get yourself some bargains. Not everything is second hand. You can pick up some new items for really cheap. We got a huge pine mirror for £12 and a rug for £8, both brand new. Its great!

Summary: highly recommended to make some cash
