    I sell at Sully, south wales bootsale is £7 pitch, buyers free. !

    Our local ones are £20.00, £15.00 and £12.00 to sell. Don't feel its worth it any more as you need to sell so many items just to cover the boot money and lunch that you end up buying from the burger bar. Think they are just being greedy now. Even on the best days there are still spaces.

    Has somebody killed this thread or has nobody got anything decent recently due to the appalling weather maybe?
  • definitley the weather I think! Ive only managed to get to 1 boot sale, I did get some good stuff, mainly china as I collect vintage tea sets but nothing was a major bargain unless you count the mini tea pot for one I got for 50p!
