We went to sell last weekend and got there at about 6.30am. We did park up outside to see if the rain would clear before going in. You pay to enter as soon as you go through the gates so we wanted to make sure the weather would be ok. Had a really good day and got rid of loads of [STRIKE] tat[/STRIKE] high quality items:)

Can anybody help please? We were going to do Chelford Car boot on Sunday as we have a lot of house removal goods to sell. However after reading the posts, it resembles more a prison camp than what should be a happy day! Maybe its just the poor unfortunate people whom have posted the bad things!
Our other option would be Holly Lane, Styal...............Any comments on better one to do please. Maybe there are others. We live near to Manchester Airport.
Thanks in advance.:)

A lot of people have posted that the farmer who runs the car boot is a miserable old sod, I've not had many dealings with him but last time we went he bought a bit of stuff off us - he's a good haggler, I'll give hime that! We found him ok - as my mum would say 'he likes the sound of his own voice', or maybe we've been lucky and caught him on a good day. We had a good time and managed to get rid of loads of stuff. Can't comment on the Styal car boot as we've never been there.

Hi, does anyone know if the Chelford car boot is back at Moat Hall Farm yet (the place with the miserable owner)? We seem to have amassed lots of high quality items that we need to get rid of.

Sorry to say to all the genuine carbooters who may sell on this site but I would definitely NOT buy anything from Scott's of Marthall/Chelford. The obnoxious man that some people have had the misfortune to have come across is a convicted criminal having served time for perverting the course of justice and fraud - BUYERS BEWARE!

I spoke to Scott the organiser of Chelford car boot today by phone and while putting my ideas across to him, he said, "your welcome" and put the phone down on me. I did not even finish what I was saying so where did the "your welcome" come from?? I'm not the type of person to take such obnoxious attitude and ignore it, so I called him back and said, "Hi, I just called you with a business idea but you said, "your welcome" and put the phone down on me which I found rude" to which (besides a few other words) he said, "I can't help you, I'm the organiser and the owner of the field is in Barbados (the main boss I take it) and without a "good by" again he slammed the phone down. I wonder if the owner on Holiday knows of his stinking attitude or are they as bad as each other?? I'm glad in a way that I got this type of attitude as I don't deal with unproffesional arrogance like this guy has. SAD LITTLE MAN!!

In one phone call you have surmised the man perfectly, he is always rude, arrogant and insulting, my mum was there one day and they actually got a tractor and dragged a car boot shoppers' parked car across the field because they didn't like where it was. He has even brought a woman sellersto tears because she didn't park close enough to the car next to them. A vile man and I would never give him a penny to park on principle.

This is making my blood boil! Who is this horrible person? I notice this is an old thread but I assume he's still there in situ?
