Car Booter Guide:
- Try to come with a friend, not on your own.
- Try not to sell to anyone before 8:00 a.m., as this will help get the best price possible.
- Bring lots of change and avoid £20 notes unless you are sure.
- Keep your money safe and NOT on your table.
- Always set up your tables first, remove items from your vehicle and close your boot/doors.
- 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, say “It will be unpacked later”.
- If you have not priced your items, think of the price you want and add a bit. Please don’t 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.
- Hold any jewellery back at this point. You can display this last (when the crowd has dispersed) at the back of other items, where you can keep an eye on it. I’d appreciate it if you could bring a display box. Old chocolate boxes are suitable for this, as you can use drawing-ins to secure them to the table.
- Do not be intimidated! Booting really is fun! Only a few 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.
