Im looking at selling video games at a car boot sale soon and i need some advice. A lot of the games will still be sealed and new so the last thing i want to do is to display them on a table where they can be stolen very easily. Does anybody have any ideas of of how i can display the goods but without allowing them to be easily pinched?

You could put empty cases out and keep the games in the car or somewhere else safeNothing to declare

It may be time consuming, but how about printing off photocopies of the covers (Im sure you can download them from somewhere) & either put them in empty cases or plastic folders with a note on your stall advising this?0

If I was you I'd leave the video games and trade them at Computer Exchange.
www.cex.co.uk
I did it recently and got more money for the games than the going rate on eBay - check it out you could make more than you're expecting to!0 -
I think you would make more money on Play/Amazon/Ebay (or cex as above but I don't know that site so cannot comment) for games than at a car boot sale. Most people only want to pay a pound or two at car boots, even if they are new it doesn't make a huge different to your regular car boot bargain hunter. If they are brand new and sealed online prices should be very goodNot been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/1550

i already trade online but im looking at getting some extra profit and i thought doing car boots might be a good idea0

Car boot sales are for cheap toot, not brand new games.0
