Never ever been to one but decided Sunday , 6am , the ardleigh car boot has my name written all over it. Vw passatt estate rammed with junk accumulated over the years and apparently people buy any old Shit. Any experts on here that can advise as to what sort of stuff sells best?

Cheers, Steve [/i]

There are lots of dealers that go to that one and many others, they'll be there for doors so to speak just incase unsuspecting junk thrower outers don't realise they could be throwing out a gem!!!

these can be a lot of fun, it is like being in the pound shop: there is so much tat that you don't want or need, but you have to buy something.

and once you have bought it, you are very pleased until you take it home. then you put it in a drawer and it is forgotten.

five years later, you are cleaning the house.

amongst the rubies, emeralds and vintage wines, you find a crumpled paper bag. what could be in this cherished trove? your grandfather's rarest stamp? six ounces of cocaine? a winning slip at 80-1? your firstborn's baby bracelet?

nope, sorry guv, you've won a tea towel with a map of wales.
and the moths have been at it.

your average munter turns up around 9-10 am

the pro vultures have cleaned everything profitable off the one day standers ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the second you pull up in your car . around 6.am

trust me ,,,,,,,, im married to one ,

tracy has had market stalls in leicester for 20 years ,,,,,,and buys n sells everything ,,,,,, and during the summer season , she's inside your car at the boot sale almost before you pull up,

plus she's full time on ebay at home ,,,,,,

im married to del-girl lol ,,,,,,,,,,,,, buying and selling is in her blood ,,,,,,, the same as slotting in mine.

if any of you need any advice on the pitfalls of ebay ,,,,,,(she knows every scam ) ,,,,,, pm,,me.

Cheers for advice. The Mrs has already promised me 100 quid and breakfast in bed if I just drive the car to the tip and dump the lot rather than drag her out if bed at 5 am but fuck it, in for a penny and all that, quite looking forward to it!! Can't be doing with too many ethnics offering me 50 p for something clearly worth more!!! Will be an interesting few hrs I'm sure.
