Car Boot Sales Reviews

I used to love rummaging through a good car boot sale and did so regularly when I lived in England, but now I am living in Bonny Scotland I find that these wonderful inventions no longer seem to be in fashion. I do not know wether it is because the Scot, doesn't throw out old stuff or whether they just give their junk to charities ...  Read the complete review

All sort of things are sold at bootsales, from brick a brac, to electronics, clothes (some people even sell or advertise larger objects - these are often just printed on a sheet of ...  Read the complete review

Its the worst carboot I've ever been to...All the junk stuffs are damn expensive,not organised properly,the entrance fee to buyers is too much...more like a market than a carboot,very rare to find items for £1 or 50p.sellers get damn angry if bargained,much much more better to buy brand new stuff than buying this junks here costing more,there are much better carboots elsewhere where you can get real bargain...I'd never go to this filthy worst carboot ever again..however sellers can benefit they can sell more expensive and still find customers,I went there just 5 mins early @ 11am yet I was forced to pay £2...

I know some people find it pretty boring and pointless to spend their time wandering around a field with loads of peoples' junk on it for hours on end when they could be doing better things but I find that it can be quite fun actually. And you can make some money out of it as well. Some people get rid of things for crazily cheap prices ...  Read the complete review

A good car boot with plenty of sellers and good selections of good.However, a word of warning: AVOID the snacks being sold by Chinese guy here.We bought some not realising until after eating them they are HALF A YEAR out of date. We have now all been V SICK, and not happy about this at all.They were V cheap, but do not be tempted. As the saying goes "If it's too good to be true..."Sally

I have just come back from the 2nd car boot sale I have ever done in my life. I made around £50 after taking out the change and the charity donation of £6 that they ask for at my local car boot. Tips for success: -Dont try to sell anything thats expensive, most people are looking for items that are ...  Read the complete review

Car boots are a great way to find bargains! However if you are a seller it is a very early start! About 5:00 - 6:00 am if you want to get a good pitch and make sure you have lots to sell! Even if you're a buyer I'd get there early if you want some of the best buys! But make sure you watch the weather forecast cause you never know if it's ...  Read the complete review

Speaking as a seller at car boot sales, I'd say they're great. Of course, it depends on the kind of person you are and why you're there, but my hubby and I love them. We actually started out by going there to buy stuff. We wanted old things (not antiques, but just stuff that was better made and was more what we wanted but you ...  Read the complete review

It is true what they say, one mans rubbish is another mans treasure. I did a car boot not so long ago to get rid of a load of stuff I had accumulated, and neede dto get rid before I moved house. I thought I'd try to sell it before throwing it away, if I made the £10 fee back I was happy. I made about £60. I had everything ...  Read the complete review

Our homes are often filled with items which we no longer have a need for. What do we do with them? Put them in the loft or cupboard? Sell them on ebay? Give them to charity? Well you may well choose one of these options however there is another option...car boot sales! I love going to car boot sales and I also love selling at ...  Read the complete review

Has anyone actually ever been to a car boot sale and left with something good. I know I haven't! Obviously its probably a very good place for a collector or expert to pick up something cheap that they think they'll make a good profit on, but I don't have that type of knowledge so I never find anything good. There is a car boot ...  Read the complete review

This is information/advice for any newcomer to the A3/Guildford Carboot. Today i attended it for the first time as heard about it so much. When you drive off the A3 onto the slip up to the entrance where the Organiser/owner is directing the cars....there is a 'fork' in the road..where he stands, you bear to his LEFT for ...  Read the complete review

About 15 years ago, I accompanied a friend of mine to a car boot sale as she wanted to sell some of her unwanted items and raise some cash in the process. I was absolutely amazed at how much money she took in selling items she no longer needed, so I thought I'd give it a go. After setting my alarm for 4.30 am on a Sunday ...  Read the complete review

If you've never been to a bootsale before then you have to try them. They're not for everyone but i am a big fan. They usually run from easter time for a few months until the weather changes. Each weekend is weather permitted. Bootsales differ to what day they are on so best to have a browse through your local paper. Most ...  Read the complete review

I love selling at car boot sales. It's an easy way to make cash and declutter your home. It's a form of making money that you don't need to worry about being taxed on. I usually end up coming away with a good £100-£140 profit. I often do car boot sales and have found that children's clothing, toys, DVDs, games and jewellery are the best ...  Read the complete review

As you have maybe know from some of my previous reviews. I am seriously, the worlds most annoying person to live with. I'm always cleaning and organising and If something hasn't been used or worn in a six month period then I would take it up the dump to the recycling. The things I have put out for recycling is quite criminal really. When ...  Read the complete review

I am always looking out for ways to make some more cash. I recently started going to a few boot sales to sell a load of old stuff that other wise would have been thrown out. I am now addicted. You can sell literally anything, its brilliant. The entry prices vary, the ones near me range from £8 to £12. It is usualyl free for buyers, ...  Read the complete review

When I was little every weekend on a Sunday morning at 5am my Mam would creep in to my room, gently wake me, take me downstairs sit me in front of the fire (we had no heating), give me a hearty breakfast and a cuppa, then give me my clothes which were warm from being over the clothes horse in front of the fire and tell me to get dressed. ...  Read the complete review
