done some maybe 5-6yrs ago could generally sell stuff,always came away with £50+ but whats it like now with all the tightness going on!
got some general house hold crap to go, got around 100cd's but i guess the lots not worth £1 might be better doing a tip run

I'd always assume that it was the tight folk having the car boot sale in the first place to get rid of junk they dont want!

ironically i did one about 6 months ago before i moved to my new place, couldnt justify throwing alot of the stuff out.

and to my amazement it was bloody packed! they've got busier due to the recession i think and especially with the country overun with immagrants, they seem to love to buy cheap stuff from car boots.

think i did near on £150.

always makes me laugh when doing it, ¨will you take 20p for this¨ NO ! its 50p, ok 30p, piss off!

i got to car boots
it's always worth haggling for some peice of tat you don't really need or want and then being able to walk away when the guy selling it won't give it to you for a £1

or when they do know what it is, but don't have a clue what it's worth so they either put it 5 times higher than you can buy it from ford for or flog it for a pound

i remember buying a sierra front hub for 50p an enfield once, just because it was new and boxes

turbolee

did one sat just gone made £105 not bad for 4 hours work sold old fishing gear clothes n general shit but these days you cant sell owt for more than £1 or 50p on your general household stuff people just wont pay no more

I give most of our stuff to charity shops, clothes mainly, funny when you see some grandad trotting down the street in his newly acquired designer gear!!

I would think harder times calls for people wanting more bargains so head to boot sales.

We done a few at the Countess Of Chester Hospital a couple of years ago, each time we left with over £130.

We used to get their for 4am an stay till 10am.

Seen a couple of fights their aswell Fella sold a SNES for £5 and walked round an seen the fella who bought it sellin it for £30, he kicked right off an got a punch

that's exactly what the traders did at ford fair when it was held at rockingham one year

gates opened to traders at 7, general public at 9
so obviously the traders bought all the good bits from one another and then floged them for double and, one point, triple what they've paid for them just a few hours before

everyones in the game for the money, some just can't aford to give a shit about who they make it from
