I've been to some, both buying/selling, have got some bargains and sold a fair amount of goods.

Escada shoes - £2.00
Prestige Crock Pot £3.00
Mac pigments £1.00 each

Few clothing items for £1.00 each

Weather has not been brilliant at them

Be careful with the pigments, there are lots around at the minute that look genuine but are fake and contain dangerous amount of I think it's lead?
A quick google should give you some guides to checking if they're genuine before you use them, better safe than sorry!

thanks rachh, they are definitely the real deal. However there is a woman selling loads of fake Mac lipsticks and eyeshadows at a boot sale. People are buying them too.

Had to search through a few pages to find this!!
Torrential rain here in Scotland - so definitely no outdoor boot sales on but the indoor one was on on Sunday and got myself a good haul

White Stuff distressed look brown leather handbag 1.00
Green Hobbs Mad Men style dress for my mum 2.00
Gorgeous green H & M raincoat 3.00
Jigsaw 100% silk dress 2.50
BNIB Kurt Geiger (yes, KURT GEIGER!!) black heels 2.00 - was nearly having a fit when I saw them and just grabbed them, couldn't believe it when the seller said '2.00, all shoes are 2.00.' They were right beside a tatty pair of Primark pumps which she also wanted 2.00 for - sometimes I really really don't understand the logic of prices at boot sales, but hey, I'm not complaining!!
New Look faux fur leopard print jacket 3.00
Karen Millen top 50p
Seven pieces of little boys clothes - Gap padded jacket, Gap shirts x2, Miniman jacket, Timberland checked shirts x2 and Next jeans - 6.00 for the lot - I know my cousin will be delighted with that little haul.

I am so sad that I come away from a boot sale with such a thrill of excitement when I think about what I've got!! I think I would still go even if I was well off just for the buzz:rotfl::rotfl:

Another Sunday - another car boot sale!!

Picked up some dvds today - two for a pound - will watch them and then just pass them on!

Also picked up some more jeans for my cousin's little boy, all Next and 1.50 each and a lovely pair of Zara wedges for myself, 2.00!!

I always seem to get something nice for my mum too - today I picked up a lovely dress from Phase Eight for 3.00 for her
