[QUOTE="KSW, post: 838962, member: 8708"]Pretty much spot on BMRT. Find a large field or site, everyone gets up at silly o clock and stuffs their car full of unwanted Christmas presents, household stuff, furniture and whatever else they can fit in ( hopefully some nice jewellery and antiques they know nothing about). Some sellers are hugely organised with every last thing labelled and organised and some look like they picked up the garage and gave it a good shake into their vehicle. Set up a table and start selling. Some car boots are all private sellers and some have some dealers. You never know if it’s going to be worth it if not - sometimes I think the best thing to do would be order s large skip as it’s all rubbish and sometimes they are brilliant. Some sellers are very savvy and almost on high street prices and others are nearly giving it away. Everyone barters the price down! Yesterday’s was great as they strictly didn’t let buyers in until all the sellers were set up so everyone was terribly British and queued up politely. Sometimes the dealers are literally in the back of people’s cars rifling through boxes and grabbing things which I find very aggressive. Having said that I’m not as polite as I used to be. I wouldn’t push but I’m more forward about picking something up from in front of someone who’s trying to body block the table!. They are great fun especially when you find a lovely box of bits that no one else has noticed!.[/QUOTE]
