Best car boot sale and charity shop bargains.

Saffronsmum

Oh well weather not great here this weekend so i thought instead of buying i will sell at a boot sale (maybe a mad idea in this weather), i'm going to a under cover boot sale and i am taking all the items i can not shift on e-bay, a lot of children's clothes age 0-11 years and a few of my daughters toys. I have spent all morning ironing (just stoped for lunch) and pricing, not sure if this will make a difference but thing look better ironed don't they?

I hope i get time to look around .

Hi Saffronsmum, do you mind telling me the details of the under-cover car boot please? I think we're in roughly the same area, and I was panicking with the weather thinking I wouldn't get my boot-sale fix this week!
Many thanks

Hi, its in Dorchester (at the market place) , i have only been once, its not the best boot sale but is ok (not huge). Going to try and go Bournemouth way next week if the weather is good (to buy). Good luck.

Got some nice bargains from my 2 local CS this morning. In the 1st one I got 2 new with labels floaty kaftan tops for my hols aat £1.50 each. They are Primark but I bought some from there last week and know they are usually about £4 a piece. Got the latest Kylie cd for £1.
In the 2nd CS bought 2 pairs of new M&S shoes for £2 a piece. They were some pumps I bought about 3 years ago and were so comfy I wanted another pair but M&S had stopped doing them so was really pleased to find themn in the CS in gold and black. They are half a size too big but will be fine with an inner sole. £2 a pair and I know I paid £20 from M&S a few years ago so nice bargains.

Thanks Saffronsmum! If it's wet in the morning I might give that one a go. I normally head Bournemouth way but don't get to go very often.

- was it at a boot sale?

Yes, it was a boot sale. It's one thing I'm not selling on, that's for sure. Since they I've found matching jewellery for it on ebay for not much either.

Can anyone advise me on the state of play with regards to selling high end clothing on ebay at the moment and what US visibility is like? I have some John Galliano, Valentino gold label and Hussein Chalayan to sell and am reluctant to if it's still dire for international buyers still. Before I wouldn't have batted at eyelid at listing for 99p and letting the market decide, it was always very successful but if the listings would struggle for international visibility I won't bother as most of my buyers were in the US and Japan.

I will be the woman queueing up to buy them most likely (I have two under3)! Fingers crossed with the weather, and good luck to you tomorrow.
