A Day Doing A Car Boot From A Sellers View Point.


Done a few small car boots these last few weeks just to lighten my van and make some room in my cupboards.
I have been carrying things that have not seen the light of day for the last three years so a clear out is long overdue.
I was warned about a bit of pilfering going on, not with the buyers on this occasion but with other sellers going around shame when you cannot trust other stall holders.
Setting up a camera on the side of my van which was quite visible to everybody was a good deterrent and give me a bit of piece of mind when turning my back on the stall.
I have now got to the stage where I have no more goods to sell so do I buy more stock and carry on or stop,
I do enjoy the challenge of selling at a car boot, however, finding the right thing to sell is another matter. Watching the punters buying they do seem to home in on the cheap throw away rubbish that most probably does not even reach home. Then the other end of the scale there are the more experienced punters looking for the items of value that the sellers do not realize the true value of.
My dilemma is should I buy new stuff that would be brought as gifts for themselves or others more likened to a Market
stall than a car boot after all Christmas is just around the corner.
