So! Often Thought Of Doing A Car Boot - 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!

  1. Dont make it an  ordeal, do it to raise some funds for you and your family, and get rid of  your unwanted items.
  2. Pack your Car, if you use tables  pack them last, they are the first things you will need on arrival.
  3. Arrive at least 1  hour before the start time.
  4. If you arrive early  you will have set-up time to display your stock.
  5. Display to the best of your ability  clean stock, dirty stock DOES NOT SELL and it puts customers off your stall.
  6. Bring some change and  keep your money safe.
  7. Price up your stock with labels  where possible, have carrier bags to wrap your sold items.
  8. Put clothes on  hangers where possible, check pockets! Make sure CDs and DVDs are IN the  boxes.
  9. No buying or selling  before the HORN sounds.
  10. Do not SMOKE on the stall or when  serving customers. It puts your customers off.
  11. Do not sell anything  illegal. ie; Cigarettes, Tobacco, Animals, or FOOD of any sort. (If  you do we WILL report you to Trading Standards)
  12. If you are selling  electrical items they MUST work and they MUST have correctly fitted safety  plugs.
  13. If you can bring along instruction manuals or assembly instructions for your goods, it'll make them more sellable
  14. Be polite and  pleasant to ours and your customers.
  15. Do not say to  customers 'its only been worn once or its only been used  once' - Baloney!
  16. If in doubt about  anything ask for Geoff or Louise, we can advise after 20 years experience.
  17. Dont wear anything nice and certainly wear your old shoes.
  18. Be prepared for a  shower of rain, something to cover you stock (see through plastic sheets work)
  19. Control your kids and  dogs but bring something to amuse them...Like Grandma!
  20. BRING SOME BARGAINS and ENJOY YOURSELVES!
