    Reminds me of everything I hate about boot sales i.e. the people. haggling on things that cost next to nothing to begin with. Do one

      You have to bear in mind most of the buyers are looking to sell online. When you're a businessman every penny counts. They all add up eventually

      If they sell 1000 items a months, saving 50p an item would make them £500

  • @benicus18
    @benicus18 5 років тому +1

    The problem with carboots is either everyone wants something for nothing and they mess you around, or haggle you down... if you are buying, it’s hard to find a stall that’s selling to make space (and will allow haggling) rather than selling for profit so either way you can’t win

  • @davidpearson9345
    @davidpearson9345 5 років тому +7

    Do a few car boot sales a year just to clear out old stuff normally Easter and the summer holidays, when it's nice.

  • @RetroJamie

  • @sofiadober7393
    @sofiadober7393 5 років тому +3

    This is so interesting. Car boots are like our flea markets. Everything is so reasonably priced. You and your wife are very polite. Are carboots on weekends only? Are you charged a fee for use of that space? Wish I could visit the Uk one day. Love the history ❤️

    • @fatabelly
      @fatabelly 5 років тому

      Sofia dober you would love the UK if you’re a fan of History?... there’s probably more history than anywhere else in the world?
      But Car Boot Sales over here are usually on a Sunday morning....and very early in the morning too lol. They start around 6 or 7am, and you have to be early to get the best stuff.
      And if you want to go to sell your stuff, you usually have to pay on the gate to be a seller and get a pitch. They’re not too expensive though... usually around £5 to £10 GBP for a car pitch.
      At the end of the video, Nic said they paid £11 for the pitch in this where they were... so that’s about $14 USD

  • @southwestsellers5475

    Thanks Nic & Andrea, it was really interesting to see selling from the flip side; it reminds me of what we would call 'garage sales'/yard sales' or the Flea Market, although your prices are far more reasonable than a lot of the pricing here. Looked super busy, well done!

    • @NicHills

    I do this quite often through the year to clear stuff. Alway give my daughter her own stuff to sell as well. The last one I done we made about £195. Still clearing stuff and need to do at least two more at this point. I do enjoy it though. Especially on a nice day. For 3 hours work to get £180 for dead stock is great👍👍👍😜😜😜

    If you are working out your sales total only (gross), you add back in your bay fee, not substract it. Yes it is an expense and needs to be subtracted if you're working out your net takings after expenses. Perhaps you were. Sorry I'm new to your channel so forgive me if I missed something. Love you guys. What a team. Thank you. I have some serious catching up to. Looking forward to watching all of your videos

    Never heard of a bootsale. Where I come from, we call them flea markets 🙂

    Just subscribed...great content! I would say £170 for 6 hours work.. as there is two of you... but still very worth doing.

      123kasabian it’s not 6 hours work the day before they have to sort load Nd price , on the day you get up at 6 to get there for 7 , close At 1 oclock drive home ,then unpack ,the hourly rate is not good , but it feels great to get rid of clutter , and you get to see people you’ve not seen for years

    does make me laugh when people ask how much something is they then haggle the price from say £5 to £3 then pull out a £10 note ...really ?...
