Car boot sale in Essex - help and tips

Options
Hello,

I am really after some advice on car boot sales to be honest. I have had a big clear out and need to sell loads of baby items/baby clothes/ toys/DVDs and more.

I have done a bootsale once before but went home early due to weather. I hated it, I just got swarmed by people and had a couple of people trying to thieve.

Can anyone recommend the best place to go in essex and any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    Can't help with location, and this is only a general tip for the start, but park up, get out of your car, lock it and go get a cup of coffee.

    THEN come back and set up: the dealers will have moved on to the next few cars and you're more likely to be left in peace!

    And can you go with a friend, maybe share a table?
