Can i ask what you sell??? I have LOADS of baby clothes (due to having twins) to sell and have never sold on e-bay and after reading all the negative things on here dont know if i want to?? Would i get more selling at car boot as alot of them are Next clothes? Thanks

sorry to but in...... but if your clothes are Next you got a better chance of them going on ebay, at car boot you would only get 10p or so an item, one suggestion is have you tried your local free adds paper, ours a bin bag of clothes is about £5 to £10.

Ebay is like everywhere else you have good sellers / buyers then sometimes you do get the old bad apple, it happens everywhere thou

if you go via ebay, try putting a few things together, but make sure you dont short change yourself on postage x

Thanks for the quick reply mum2one. I may go round to some friends who have sold loads on e-bay for a lesson then!!!!!

:rotfl: I was going to post exactly the same thing last week. As a buyer though. I was sooo looking forward to carbooting again this year, and of course at Easter there were a zillion scheduled. And cancelled. Then it has rained every sunday (morning specifically) ever since.

Tomorrow I have my hopes up as bbc weather says heavy rain, but not till tomorrow evening! So if baby can stand it I will be ever so happy! I just hope the sellers are there too.

Especially those ones with 10p Next baby clothes

Well, weather is lovely. I've just come back from the most expensive carboot in the world (ONE stall with baby clothes and she wanted £2-3 per item!!). I got some tops for myself too at almost rrp :rolleyes:. And of course not many sellers braving the cold.

Hope I have better luck at lunchtime. But this time I'm going with baby, who being a boy hates shopping of any sort. Help!

Yayyy the rain held off but it was a bit windy just as we were packing up

We sell bags of sweets and it was a really nice day.
The sun came out and it got really warm at one point.
Then we saw a black cloud heading our way so we decided to pack up then The wind got up and I so grabbed all the sweet trays and loaded them in the car.
All of a sudden the wind blew up and got underneath the canopy and blew the stall over
OMG it was so funny then we realised our son was kinda underneath it LOL
He was ok and we packed the rest of the stall away.

cant wait till next weekend
