The last one for Sully is next week, funky (13th Sep). I went there today. I've been many times this year and it's always been great. But not today. Today I bought a book for 50p from a 'well-spoken' woman, and accidentally dropped a folded £20 note on her stall. She snatched it like lightening, thinking I hadn't seen it. I hedged politely about something she might have picked up that I had dropped, but she just denied it. I then said I was sure I saw it, but still nothing. Of course there was nothing I could do (there were no witnesses, but I did tell a steward, who kindly tried to help), but I felt terrible. I went back to say I had taken her reg. and would report it (if only to give her a sleepless night!). I've always found car booters to be a friendly and decent lot, but it just goes to show you have to be careful! Sorry for the long post, but it makes me feel a bit better!

Wow that really sucks

I might pop to Sully on Sunday to see if there is any bargains to be had at the last car boot sale!

Does Bessemer Road car boot stop after the summer or is it all year round?

Thanks for the sympathy, funky. I'm just glad I told the steward now - I doubt she'd try it again, at Sully at least!

Bessemer goes on all-year round, afaik, as does the smaller Splott (Sat is the busiest car boot day there, but they also have some market stalls outside, and more inside).

Happy bargain hunting!

Thanks for the info re sully car boots was wondering when the last one was on. I am "hoping" to sell on Sunday the day before my baby is due so cutting abit fine but need to declutter !

I don't like doing bessemer, have had things nicked off my stall and find Sully a better place to sell

Hm decisions whether it will be Sully or Bessemer this Sunday!

I am excited, had some proper bargains last time - although my friends were very embarassed when I haggled an advent candle down from 20p to 10p!

Hey it's a 50% saving! :rotfl:

Did anyone try the bootsale in the new race coarse near Llanelli?

just wondering as i have had heard mixed reviews.

i heard there 200+ car booters there,

some said they had a great day, others said they just about covered their pitch.

must have been great for buyers.

Also does anyone go to the boot sale in Carmarthen show ground ?

as i would love more info on this one too

is it inside or outside ?

how much for a van?

how many buyers turn up?

how many booters turn up?

sorry for all the questions lol..... but i need to find out another boot sale to do each month

so i will ( depending on weather ) be doing 2 boot sales a month, but in different places.

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster!

I noticed above that someone mentioned a car boot sale in Splott that runs throughout the year (on a saturday?)

Has anyone got anymore information about this? I.e. where it is, what time it starts, how much it costs ....

I am looking to do one this weekend to give a boost to the start of this year's money saving, if anyone can suggest any others that haven't closed for the winter that would be great

Cheers,
Jem
