Well I have done car boot sales before and I have'nt normally made much money because people want something for nothing. I had people arguing over paying a £1 for something it was stupid. I only like to sell things that are in good condition, because I would'nt even look at a stool full of rubbish. The last Car Boot Sale I ...  Read the complete review

I remember my first boot sale as a seller back in the late 80s, when they started to become popular. On a sunday my parents and I took a car full of junk and my old toys out to a 'mega-boot' sale in a field in the country. As soon as we got to a pitch the car was suddenly surrounded by a mob to the extent that we could hardly get out the ...  Read the complete review

Having visited many a car boot sale as a buyer I thought it was time I got rid of my clutter as opposed to taking home everyone else's. Mum and I had been planning to do this for ages and we had accumulated enough bits and pieces to fill the VW camper van so psyched ourselves up for what was to be a long and perhaps trying day. On ...  Read the complete review

So, obviously you need a ...  Read the complete review

I LOVE BOOTFAIRS, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE ATMOSPHERE AT 6AM IN THE MORNING, NOT BECAUSE OF THE OLD HIGHLY COLLECTABLE TOYS I MANAGE TO BUY, OR THE COLLECTION OF VICTORIANA BOOKS, POST CARDS, CHINA, CLOTHING ETC ETC, BUT BECAUSE IVE MADE AN ABSOLUTE FORTUNE FROM THEM. CAR BOOTFAIRS HAVE MADE ME AN ABSOLUTE FORTUNE, BECAUSE ALL THE HIGHLY RARE ITEMS ...  Read the complete review

There are two sides to carboot sales - selling and buying. It's a great way to clear out all those cupboards and wardrobes of all the items you don't really want anymore, and make some money in the process.

I have only ever partaken in this activity once and it was on the side of the seller and not a buyer and I will never ever do it again. Not because I didn't enjoy it, I did, not because I had to get out of bed on a SUNDAY morning at 6am to get there early for a good space, and definitely not because I froze my ass off in the process. ...  Read the complete review
