Finding Items to Sell On at Car Boot Sales

Trouble is you're relying on people being absolute morons by a) not realising the value of something before they arrive and b) not realising the value of something when you and how ever many others are battling to buy it at 6am.

Fortunately most people are morons so you might get lucky.

I sell things under value all the time or just give them away.

It makes me a moron? no it makes me a nice guy and not greedy.

obviously some people just flat out don't know the value of something but it doesn't make them stupid it makes them lazy

not bird boxes, I tried this once.

Paid £50 for 75 pine birdboxes, thought i could shift them in a day at £2 a pop.

Well I sold 3 and the rest spent a month in the back of my mates car before his dad got sick of them and put them all up in the local wood. Loads of happy birds though.

Not bird boxes.

bet you could have sold them for more than £2 a pop if you went door to door with a cordless drill and installed them too :P

Just hit an area full of old codgers up :D

I got my Son an Ikea branded wooden toy train set for 20p, for example.
I tend to take him there for a nice walk on Sunday mornings, and sometimes find some useful tools/classic car bits going for much less than they are actually worth.

However, as stated above, the general "quality" of stuff available today is much lower than it used to be when I was a kid :(

Maybe it depends on the location? Doncaster for example has some right old rubbish (some ok bits and pieces) I went to one in Leeds a few years ago and it was slightly better

Maybe ones down south have decent stuff?
