Car boot sales are a phenomenon that have sprung up all over the country in the last couple of decades.
The origins of car boot sales are questionable, however many people believe the idea was adopted from Canada in the early 1970's by Father Harry Clarke from Stockport.
Most sellers at car boots aren't professional traders but members of the public who are are selling often used but no longer wanted personal items.
There are a number of useful tips for car boot sellers or 'booters' to know:
1/ Arrive early to give yourself plenty of time to set up and get organised.
2/ Take plenty of change as many buyers will use larger denomination notes.
3/ Use pricing labels, it will help you remember the right prices, particularly if you have a number of items to sell.
4/ Haggle!
5/ Be security conscious - You will be dealing in cash, keep it safe and watch out for people "taking" items.
