car booters - need your help , info req.
 
have just gone through the house in a clearout phase and I have amassed a scary amount of things that are no longer needed..I am thinking about car boot as there is so much of it but I have no idea where to start..
where are good car boots to go and sell items and what costs are involved?

Might be worth putting a list together, (with prices), and flogging it on here, might save you having to stand out in the cold.

well first of all you actually need a car or a van to take it to the place where the sale is being held (this always comes in handy when attempting to move things) try Clitheroe

Accringtons sunday market is £12.40 per stall. The bonus is that it is covered and you do not need tables etc

oooo AND you can take your items down on the bus if you do it in Accy

Have a nice big car so travel or moving items isn't an issue.

Few on here Car Boot Sales - Lancashire

At this time of year I would be tempted to wait a few weeks as people tend to be skint after Christmas & New Year and will be waiting to be paid again.

I can reccommend Colne Leisure Centre on a Sunday morning which is on the list, we have done a few car boots there over the years they are well run and we have always done pretty well selling.

There is usually an option of also hiring tables & chairs to save you lugging those over with you.

Hope that helps

From buyers... silly comments and even sillier offers.

Good fun though!

I used to stand Clitheroe, you have to be there very early (6am) if you want to get inside, you need tables, and everything has to be carried in if you dont get the open under cover area (which is usually filled with the people who camped overnight, because you drive in and unload), costs vary, used to be from £6, it is a very busy market, but dont get any antique stuff out untill the dealers have been through (after 8.30).

I think last time we were there it was £12 including table & two chairs or £8 if you take your own.

It is very well organised in that you book your space and when you get there the plan is on the door before they open at 8.30am so you know exactly where your pitch is.

The other one that is a cracker but dosn't usually start till late April is on the ASDA car park in Cone which is mega busy with car booters & the store shoppers as well.

I used to do Clitheroe and the above is bang on how it is, and its flipping freezing.

I would just use Ebay / Accy Web Ect. Much easier.

Accy is good but probably not the busiest but you get to pick a stall and its undercover dont need tables got electrics finishes about 2.30pm easy to load and unload worth a try
