    2nd one in the series is on...

    I wouldn't fancy risking the hearse on a road trip in France, last week they had trouble starting it.

    Is this a repeat or are they the same people as a prior programme?

    This is a new series but with some of the people on the one off programme last year.

    It does seem a fairly vital requirement if going to a fast moving auction :money:

    Do we think it was all above board? It seemed a bit easy for that lady to open a 'pop up shop'... if she's inviting people in to buy goods from her home, surely she needs to have some H&S 'stuff' sorted?

    Also, when I go to bootsales I expect to pay 50p not £3 for a used Next tshirt... I need to sell at her local bootie as I'd love her prices for things!

    The pop up shop was a good idea. I doubt it was in any way official though, just like 99% of the facebook sellers I see that have open days at weekends for people to go and browse their stock.

    I don't like people coming into the house much , but I have put stuff at the end of my drive before now with an honesty box just to get rid of larger items- I've got stuff ready at the moment but the weather has been too bad- just huge vases and some DVDs , the stuff that doesn't really go at car boots and which I'll probably just charity shop.

    as for £3 an item for clothes at a car boot- like you that would be nearer 20-50p a go at the ones I use. Canterbury ha a large student population though so perhaps they pay more for second hand clothes that are a little different and not readily available on the High STreet. There is alo currently no Primark in Canterbury

    The hearse couple were hilarious. DH and I said the auction would end badly and wondered how the hell you could bid on something without understanding how much it was even on.
