load of stuff for boot sale - cant do one, how can i get rid of it?

loopy_lass

i have heards and heards of stuff for a boot sale, but ive got M.E. and cant possibly do one. No one else to ask, as im alone in this world (ahhh shame) and its bits n pieces which wouldnt really be profitable for ebay.

is there anywhere or anyone who might buy this load of stuff off me as a job lot? if so where would i find them?

Our local free ads paper often has adverts for boxes of car boot stuff for £5 or £10 per box - buyer collects. A lot of 'professional' boot salers get their stuff this way.:D

If you don't sell it and just want to get rid of it try 'freecycle' (see more details in freebie board) and no doubt someone would have it ... or donate to a charity shop.

Ring up your local paper and advetise the whole lot as bric & brac and give it one price. See how it goes. Good luck.

Advertise as a job lot in your local paper - charge £5 - £10 per box/black bag but do not allow your buyer to sort the best stuff out. Its all or nothing!

Good luck.

the bits you dont sell in job lots, get a charity shop to collect, i find the YMCA shop the best and they dont overcharge its customers like some charity shops, my nanna died recently annd they came to collect all sorts for us to sell on:D

ebay- car boot items are often listed in the wholesale secton. more often than not i think the stuff gors for more than its worth (or maybe im just tight!)

If you want something in return for it, adtrader has ads in my area of people willing to buy car boot items and loads advertise car boot bags/lots in there. Always be aware they are hagglers and will pay bottom price if they can.
