| Welcome to Car Boots Cornwall |
|
 |
Welcome to our new look website as we celebrate our 21st Year at running CAR BOOT SALES in Cornwall and a further celebration is nearing over 300,000 visits to CARBOOTSCORNWALL
Our new site is designed by Gavin Mounce from Kenetic Designs a great friend of CARBOOTSCORNWALL who initiated our first ever website in 1998......Welcome back Gav...........PHEW!
Gavin has arranged for us to have complete FREEDOM to control the daily events and updates immediately instead of waiting for ages to update information for you our readers and valued customers.
By public demand we decided to present another book about our business this year with all the up-to-date information, it took an eternity to present and I am not happy with the end product so we have
decided to give the books away with the latest 2010 dates including PADSTOW!
We apologise there is no large crossword as promised on the front page omitted along with other inexcusable errors. SORRY! |
The Car Boot Sales are on a high at the moment with lots of new buyers and sellers brought about by the effects of the recession. Some buyers are setting up home from purchases bought at our sales, they have saved fortunes buying from the large variety of BARGAINS on offer.
Sorry if some of the cutomer-dog-owners have got upset at our new ruling to exclude large dogs from the selling areas. We have had 3 dog fights recently and owners who allow their dogs to foul the grassed areas in front of Car Boot Sellers stalls (and not clean up the mess) have helped to make the final decision.
If you have any ideas of inclusions into our new site have a chat with Lou or myself, or even better put the ideas to us via our contact page
Over the years we have known thousands of people who seek fresh friends and partners in their lives especially those who share the same interest in life including Car Boots & Markets. All they need is some company to share their lives and experiences and perhaps in time form long term relationships!
In this respect we will start soon a 'secondhandpeople' section to our website that is a totally FREE service as a meeting place for all ages. As a security measure all applicants will need to be registered with names addresses and phone numbers for our records before we release any details of those interested in friendships.........Its FREE! |
 |
I hope you all enjoy the new look and the future of this website that represents CARBOOTSCORNWALL-AT the HEART of the COMMUNITY!
Thank you,
Geoff Camden Wiles |
But Not Quite Sure How To Go About It?
Well! We're Here To Help - Take A Look At Our 20 Point Guide On How To Be A Successful Booter!
 |
Dont make it an ordeal, do it to raise some funds for you and your family, and get rid of your unwanted items. |
 |
Pack your Car, if you use tables pack them last, they are the first things you will need on arrival. |
 |
Arrive at least 1 hour before the start time. |
 |
If you arrive early you will have set-up time to display your stock. |
 |
Display to the best of your ability clean stock, dirty stock DOES NOT SELL and it puts customers off your stall. |
 |
Bring some change and keep your money safe. |
 |
Price up your stock with labels where possible, have carrier bags to wrap your sold items. |
 |
Put clothes on hangers where possible, check pockets! Make sure CDs and DVDs are IN the boxes. |
 |
No buying or selling before the HORN sounds. |
 |
Do not SMOKE on the stall or when serving customers. It puts your customers off. |
 |
Do not buy off one stall and then try to sell the same item on your stall, it amounts to BAD MANNERS and causes friction between sellers! |
 |
If you are selling electrical items they MUST work and they MUST have correctly fitted safety plugs. |
 |
If you can bring along instruction manuals or assembly instructions for your goods, it'll make them more sellable |
 |
Be polite and pleasant to ours and your customers. |
 |
Do not say to customers 'its only been worn once or its only been used once' - Baloney! |
 |
If in doubt about anything ask for Geoff or Louise, we can advise after 20 years experience. |
 |
Dont wear anything nice and certainly wear your old shoes. |
 |
Be prepared for a shower of rain, something to cover your stock (see through plastic sheets work) |
 |
Control your kids and dogs but bring something to amuse them...Like Grandma! |
 |
BRING SOME BARGAINS and ENJOY YOURSELVES! |
|

 |
| Due to various incidents and disturbances caused by a minority of Market Traders over the past 3 years I have decided we need a CODE of CONDUCT policy where we will only allow 'APPROVED' Market Traders to sell at any of our venues, therefore we require the following information for our own records. This information will NOT be shown or shared but kept on private file.
Car Boots Cornwall Market Trader Code of Conduct
|
All Market Traders and professional Car Boot Sellers are required to have FULL PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE with immediate effect. |
|
We require names and addresses of all Traders the address to be in line with the one shown on your Public Liability. |
|
Contact telephone numbers. |
|
Vehicle Registration numbers. |
|
Vehicle type. |
|
All Public Liability Insurance certificates must be shown on request of myself or an appointed member of staff. |
|
ALL sellers and Market Traders Vehicles should display a current road tax license. |
|
Our terms for Market Trader and Professional Car Boot Sellers is £1.00 foot frontage at most locations, there is NO room for negotiation at either The Circus Fields or HENDRA |
|
Market Traders should understand that carbootscornwall relies on CAR BOOT SELLERS as the main part of our business, Car Boot Sales are 'trouble free' events with brilliant Community spirit friendship and atmosphere.
We will not hesitate to take action against any persons who wish to disrupt the smooth running of our events.
Market Traders are having a very difficult time with the main High Street Stores and Supermarkets selling similar items cheaper than the Market. Traders should be original and imaginative in choosing what to sell to the car boot community, Car Boots Cornwall had over 300,000 recorded visits to our location last season, we get the people to our events, it is up to you to offer the right BARGAINS to our public!

| The Gold Pass passes on....... |
21 years ago we started Car Boot Cornwall and over the early years we met some wonderful people who helped us in may ways as we built up the reputation of our Car Boot Sales at the various locations.
As a gesture of goodwill I decided as a 'THANK YOU' to a few dedicated and loyal supporters we would give them a GOLD PASS that entitled them to free admission for themselves and one guest.
The holders (30 in all) appreciated the gesture but you always get someone who want to bend the system.
We received complaints from some customers who did not have the pass that the system was unfair
as it was being abused by the minority of holders.
After checking we found that the pass was being loaned to other persons, photocopies were made and the false passes used but the straw that broke the camels back was to drive in with 4 persons in the car show the Gold Pass and say the next car with another 4 persons is with me, gaining unfairly free admission for 8 persons!
AMEN! |
