Hi Guys! On Sunday 1st September I did a carboot sale! Been wanting to do one for absolutely ages, years and years, but the lack of a car has been an obvious obstacle. However, finally just went for it and Saturday 31st my friend AY came round and put my stuff [pictured above]into her car and I slept over at her house. We woke up Sunday morning and added her stuff into the car (poor car!) and drove to the carboot sale near her: Pedhsam Place, Swanley, Kent. |
We had a clothes rail, ground sheet, crates and a table to display our bits and bobs. We sold clothes, shoes, bags, books and knick knacks. |
It was £12 in total entrance fee and we made (in profit) £80 and £110!!!! And that's with only half a car worth of stuff each. Imagine how much we could have made with a car each!!! I really liked Pedham Place, it was really big and there were loads and loads of people. I would definitely recommend this site and will return once I've got more stuff to sell. I didn't eat anything but there were the usual hotdog and burger places around. Toilets (portaloos) were good considering the amount of people using them. |
Initially I found it quite hard selling my stuff for such low prices - a carboot sale is not the place to go to make a lot of money; that's what eBay is for - but once I got use to saying bye bye to my babies it was great just thinking about all the space I would have in my home. And all the new things I could buy to fill up the empty spaces lol Do you enjoy going to carboot sales to buy or sell? Any recommendations of great places to go? |
