    When you get to there, before unloading your stuff go for a walk around, the vultures will have moved on when you get back.
    Put the prices on before you pack up the car, people like to see how much stuff is, but they'll try to knock you down, so mark a little higher than you want to get. If selling any curtains or duvet sets, keep them together with ribbon, and mark on label what size it is, looks great and they will sell better.
    You will see a rush of people usually an hours or so after you set up, which depending on your bootie will last for 1-2 hours, once that dies down, if you really just want rid of your stuff have a box or side of your table where you can make everything 50p, see how that goes, and then drop to 10p, or even free, to save you carrying it home.
    There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
