Hi, has anyone been to the Saturday morning boot sale at Wotten under Edge ? We were thinking of doing one there tomorrow the 15th and wondered how many cars get there and more importantly,are there lots of buyers?..Are there any other big sales on a Saturday morning within a 25 mile radius of the Severn Bridge worth looking at?
Thanks

Not really sure if they come under Basildon, but Dunton and The Big One which is on the pitsea roundabout, I have done both of these, if you go onto The Big One website at the moment you can get a £2.00 voucher off so a car is only £6 to get in. You do have to watch it at both of these sites as sometimes bits your selling can go walkabouts!

I seem to be doing one off bootsales every summer these days! Although last week was a washout so I was hoping to do it this weekend but looks again like it might be a bit naff.

Going to one near me on Sunday (if it is dry) and it is £14.50 for a pitch and items still go for buttons.

Does anyone know of any good boot sales in the slough/maidenhead/langley sort of area? We usually do the taplow one but was hoping to find one with a cheaper fee than 11 pounds! Thanks

Going to a car boot as a seller for the first time this sunday. Went to the same one last weekend to have a look around. Ive got a couple of questions

1) How much would i be likely to get for a Portable TV and DVD player combo. No remote?
2) If i were to buy a bunch of cans(non alcoholic) from Tesco or somewhere would i be able to flog them on my stall?

I paid £4 for a silver portable TV/DVD combo it did have a remote

Most carboot places wont let you sell food/drink because they either sell such items themselves of take a large cut off the burger/ice cream vans so have sole food/drink selling rights, having said that I've sold the odd few cans Ive bought in error (got diet asda's own red bull by mistake and sold them on)

All TV's have to go digital in the near future.

hi everyone,
am doing a car boot in the morning a bit unsure on what to ask for the following:
thunderbirds tracey island with all the bits,
scaletrix,
moses baskets,
tiffany bracelet (with receipts etc)
digital camera,
fish tank,
tom tom sat nav,
flymo lawn mower, and
a leaf blower/collector thing
am in desperate need of space and so really looking to get rid of it but obviously the extra cash is a bonus so dont really want to give it away!
thanks for any replies in advance
