Carboot Sale

Was up at 5:45am to get a spot at the Greenside Carboot sale. This is the chap who had a pitch beside us.

This is the 5th one we have done so could say we are pro carbooters.

Some top tips (if you want to put yourself through the stress of it!)

1. Keep all your unwanted crap in your loft/garage for ages as some stupid beggar will actually buy it for £2, £1 or £0.50
2. Take a flask of tea
3. Wear gloves (there are some minky people who are going to buy your crap)
4. Immigrants love suitcases, old mobile phones and anything that is electrical regardless if it was made in the 1970s
5. Be prepared to be a bit rough/common for the 5hrs you are there so you fit in with the pykees
6. Depending on what the buyer looks like should determine your price - if you know there are a pykee carbooter who does this while claiming benefits refuse to reduce the price as they will be selling it next week twice what they paid you for it.
7. Lastly laugh all the way home with your couple of hundred quid cos you were actually going to throw all the stuff out!
