Whether you’re shopping or selling, the humble Car Boot sale is the perfect place to pick up bargains and sell of your excess clothes, toys and gym equipment the quick way. Plus, it’s cheaper than eBay!
While many would be shoppers and sellers are put off by the early Sunday morning starts and the pitch fees, a Car Boot sale is the quick and easy way to clean out the wardrobes, earning you a vast sum of money in a short space of time simply selling numerous items in a matter of hours.
While eBay will often charge extortionate after sales fees for selling your second hand goods, let alone actually selling them for a worth amount, you can quickly cut out the surprise charges with one simply payment of between £8 and £10 for a pitch. Simply park up the car, unload your goods onto a fold out pasting table and start selling to a large and eager audience of bargain hunters.
Car Boot Sales play host to all manner of goods from clothes to sporting goods, work tools, car parts, plumbing and even children’s toys. Most items are also in excellent condition and during the warm summer months people flock in their thousands to farmer’s fields in the hope of a chance purchase before the Sunday roast is ready.
While specialist products require a niche eBay market, the general every day items that sell for a pittance on the web or not at all are in high demand at Car Boot Sales and with a huge number of bargain hunters raiding the stalls for all they’re worth, it’s the most cost and time effective way to get rid of your household goods and see a valuable return in the process.
And should you be a bargain hunter yourself, you will be amazed at what you can pick up for a under a fiver. Just don’t get your hopes up looking for a rare item to auction on eBay, but you never know your luck.
So check your local paper for the biggest Car Boot sale near you. Most car boot sales run from June through to September, starting at 7am for sellers to set up and opening to the public at 9am.
