Everyone's wised up. Gone are the days when you could pick up an old pot for 25p and find out it's worth £20k

to be honest all those I've been to in this area are pure junk but I've picked up some nice cookery books over the years

think people either get boot sales or they don't.
I can't wait for Sundays to come along and will get to as many as possible before they are all packed up. you have to keep your eyes open or you will only see junk because that is exactly what the vast majority of stuff is. there is a knack to filtering what you are seeing so that your attention is grabbed by stuff you might be interested in, or is worth much more to you than the person asking 50p or a couple of quid for it. very rarely come away without buying something that is worth a lot more than I paid. last week, for example, amongst other things I picked up what appears to be pretty much the full back catalogue of the klf/jamms on vinyl... 12" and albums, promo copies, special copies etc. that someone had meticulously collected, all in very good nick. I found them crammed into a taped up cardboard box just as people were packing away. all the usual vinyl buffs must have missed them. they aren't going to make me rich but I had a very enjoyable morning's entertainment into the bargain. |

From a sellers point of view, they are a complete waste of time. You offer good stuff at knockdown prices and as Iagreewithnick states they want the stuff for nowt
 plus thieves in abundance who try to nick your items while their friends distract you. Professional Dealers get all the good stuff before the boot sale even starts. |

here's a free bootsaling tip. if you see any ladies shoes size 9 or above, especially the more "glamorous" styles, then they are often highly sought after on eBay!
