If you go ahead with a car boot sale, see if anyone you know, family members etc have boxes of clutter they'd like you to get rid of for them for a percentage. As you're doing the hard work & arranging the pitch, you could say you'll split the difference on anyone else's items you sell for them. There have been times where I'd have been well happy with this as an arrangement when I haven't had enough stuff or the time to do a car boot myself but would have liked to get rid of boxes, bulky items. I'd defo have paid 50% of the sale prices of any of my stuff to the person doing the selling. Worth a try?2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever

The OH's mum has said she will get some stuff as they are starting child minding at their home so they've done a lot of de-cluttering. And I dont think she wants any money, she just wants to get rid of it.
My dad was going to give me some stuff but forgot and I dont know when I'm next going to see him which is a bit of a shame.:j *~* 2011 - TRY TO GET CREDIT CARD AS LOW AS POSS BUT STILL HAVE FUN *~* :j0 -
Look at musicmagpie, they take old cds/dvds/games. Not a lot but it's free postage and they're usually quick with the cheque - have sent off about £100 worth of stuff over the past 9 months and not had a problem** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

I do it all because I'm scared.

Thanks elfen I was really trying hard to remember what website that was!!
I've got quite a few dvds/cds which have either been over played or just shockingly bad so could do with cleaning that area up!
