Car boot sale advice - updated 2013

idbridge

I live in Basingstoke, can anyone recommend a good winter car boot sale on a sunday morning, don't mind how early. For selling
Used to do one at Newbury Racecourse, which was busy from 8am-12, but now closed for building work.
Happy to travel for a decent one

I've seen quite a few people do it but it will depend on the site rules. I assume your going to pop down to costco/makro and buy in bulk.

if your live near crawley (gatwick) you might have heard about the pease pottage carboot sale, which is the biggest around for sure. unfortunately, as if you are not there when it opens (6am) you've got no chance to buy anything nice. and because it's that big, it is more like a mall on field...

so if you are around, pop in to rusper (starts 11am sundays) which is a lovely little one (at least compare to the pp one), a real 'old school' carboot sale - as i imagine

I thought I'd just bump this as I know some people do like a good car boot as another selling opportunity.

I didn't do any last year as I had amiserable time in 2016, rain, cold and no buyers - ended up with car loads of donations to the charity shops. However on a local forum I read people are raving about various car boots yesterday saying they took more in one day than they did for 2016 and saying buyers were out in force.

Anyone else started car booting yet, and have they noticed any increase in buyers?
