We have had a car boot this morning. Awake at 4.30 then set up shop by 5.30am. We were mobbed when we first arrived and got rid of some X Box games straight away. We sold mainly clutter from around the house, old clothes, old toys and other bits and pieces. We also sold the home brew equipment that had been in the loft for 15 years, we got £17 for two barrel's and two buckets. We didn't have a pasting table or a ground sheet so we had to improvise. When I was in the loft I found the plastic wrapping from when we had our suite 6 years ago (yes we have also been storing wrapping for many years ! ) and we used this as the ground sheet. We took drinks and snacks with us although before we left I was lured by the smell of onions to the hot dog stand, however we did share the hot dog which cost £2.50 out of our profits. We had a productive morning all in all, lots of clutter gone and we made £92. We are going to give our daughter some of the money as we did sell a lot of her stuff, albeit clutter. Back home now enjoying a well earned cup of tea.
Hey, that's great news - makes getting up at silly o'clock worthwhile!

Well done! That's a lot of cleared up real estate and cash as a reward. Must feel good.
ReplyDeleteI found out there was a car boot sale in my town yesterday - but I missed out on getting rid of some of Dolly's toys and books, as I didn't know about it.
I once saw a woman at a car boot sale with the cutest stall. She covered her whole car with a lovely blue fabric and put all her items on and around her car it a well styled manner. She had talent.
Well done, decluttered and money as well. x
ReplyDeleteGood job! That's a nice chunk of change! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Guys, Thanks for your comments. I was flagging mid afternoon but a quick hours snooze sorted me out and I feel ok again now. Dont think I could do it on a regular basis though !

ReplyDeleteWell done on the boot sale. There was a boot sale this morning on the village cricket pitch in our village(do you call them cricket pitches?hehe) but I could not be bothered to do a sale as they never get very busy. Our village only does two boot sales a year.
ReplyDeleteThats a great mornings work well done. I love car boot sales. I always find it hard not to have a nosey around when I am selling too!
ReplyDelete£92 is excellent. What is the money going towards?
