How much do plants sell for at car boot sales?

Quackers

As it says on the tin really

I have oodles of tomato plants and am considering doing a car boot sale on Sunday & selling the ones I don't want there now I've given lots already away to friends and family!

How much would you pay for a tomato plant or how much do you sell them for if you do?

I have lots of gardeners delight, some hundreds & thousands and a few Alicante (these ones are HUGE!).

Thanks

I was at a car boot on Sunday and they were selling some at 3 for a £1.
They weren't very old ones though so maybe it depends how 'advanced' they are?
I'm not sure what type they were sorry.

I think it depends how big they are and what the opposition is like. Have a walk round and see what other people are selling. For big ones, I don't think a £1 is too much, but 50p or 75p each seems more reasonable for the rest.

I bought some tomato plants (good strong plants, but still fairly small, around 6" high) at the carboot on Sunday for 45p each or 3 for £1.20. The stall had Alicante, Moneymaker or Gardeners Delight. I also bought a ridge cucumber for 60p.

There were several stalls selling tom plants, all priced about the same. I went with the healthiest looking ones rather than the largest. If there are other sellers there, I would think you would be unlikely to get more than about 50p a plant. Garden centres round here sell them for around £1 a plant upwards, or possibly slightly less in a multipack of 6+

50p per plant is about right i reckon

I think 50p is about the price i would pay - If desperate to get rid of a stock of them i would say 50p or 6 for £2.00 for example.
I would happily buy 6 plants for £2 without thinking where they are going to grow:o:rotfl:
