    Well I have been to a car boot sale I was the seller icon_smile.gif never been before but kept thinking about it but this morning I was up and off I went.

    Well selling what I would have thrown away and pricing nothing above £8...I made £192 of which I have made £130 clear profit icon_smile.gif

    I will explain I had to start with £23 float + £7 entry fee. So I paid myself that back so I was level icon_smile.gif, and then I took £7 entry fee and £25 float from the profits so I am using only car boot made money from now on icon_wink.gif

    So I am now officaly a car booter.....icon_smile.gif And have actually spent nothing....well spent £2 on two books which according to listings on ebay should net me £30 +
    So a good day.

    Wow bluerover - that is a great start to your car booting! :T

    Good luck with the EBAYing of books too. Check out Amazon Market Place as well - books seem to sell better on there (for me anyway) than EBAY.
