Local Car Boot Sales
In the beginning, local car boot sales were little more than a collection of paste-boards at the neighbourhood church or school playground.
Then people realised that there was money to be made, either selling their stuff on the market or buying cheap and then selling on eBay.
And so the whole car boot phenomenon grew until now they fill farmers fields the length and breadth of the country.

Car Boot Items
So what can you expect to find at your average boot sale? Well, in a nutshell, anything! As locations get larger there is more space for professional traders to bring vans packed with new and end-of-line products to clear at discount prices.
So between the amateur sellers, charity collectors and seasoned pros you'll find a diverse choice of car boot items for you to browse. If you need something, chances are you'll find it down at your local car boot!

Car Boot Markets
Many local councils are waking up to the potential of opening up their local stalls on certain days for secondhand or car boot markets, giving people the opportunity to sell their unwanted goods while bringing in much needed tourists to the area.
The big advantage that the council run sites have is the excellent amenities which of course were built specifically for the purpose.
