Why do car boots start so early...?

Often wondered what is the reason that car boots start at silly times like 7.00am... Sellers need to be there from 6.00 etc...
I did one last week and was up at 04.30hrs and it was vile lol...

Yeah, I know - I can never be bothered to leave the house that early on a Sunday! My dad loves them though, they go every week to one or another.0

I wish I lived near Essex so I could go to the Lazybones car boot lol, I love car boots but I have been to many for 2 big reasons;
1. They're on ridiculously early for a Sunday
2. I don't have a car!Thank you competition posters!

Many sellers like to do 2 or more CB's in a day.
They can do the early one then move on to the next.I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.0 -
We went to a car boot this morning, we got there at 8:30 which wasn't too bad. The one's in Birmingham you have to get there for 7am or there's nothing left!Now I am employed, lets get rid of this student debt!

The earlist one here starts at 8am - 12 but the best car boot and most definitely the biggest starts at 1pm.Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.0

The earliest one I can think of round here opens at 9am
Most of the others start at 12pm or 1pm. :j30/7/10:j

Well we decided to do another carboot today as the spare room was full from [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] stuff from the other week.
The one we go to (Opp B&Q Warrington) opens at 6.30 for sellers, so you have to be there for 6.00 to get a good spot.
It opens at 7.00 for buyers.
It's now 6.55pm and I'm flagging lol.0 -
Went to one this morning, and some people were packing up at 10.30am. Still got some lovely bits though! :j0
