Car Boot Sales

Car Booter Guide:

1. Try to come with a friend, not on your own.
2. Try not to sell to anyone before 8:00 a.m. as this will help get the best price possible.
3. Bring lots of change and avoid £20 notes unless you are absolutely sure.
4. Keep your money safe and NOT on your table.
5. Always set up your tables first, remove items from your vehicle and close your boot/doors.
6. Take out one box/item at a time. Don't be rushed by anyone! Please don't leave your stall unattended. If asked for the price of an item still inside your car, just say "It will be unpacked later".
7. If you have not priced your items, think of the price you want and add a bit. Do not accept any less at this time. Most of the public will arrive later, so you have plenty of time to get the full asking price.
8. Hold any jewellery back at this point. You can just display this last (when the crowd has dispersed) at the back of other items where you can keep an eye on it. Better still, bring a display box of some kind. Old chocolate boxes are good for this, as you can use drawing-ins to secure them to the table.
9. Do not be intimidated! Booting really is fun! It's only a few who try to spoil it for others by being rude. Ignore them. You will meet lots of great people who are just the opposite and like you are bargain hunters and sellers.
