Car Boot Sale
14 Answers
I am thinking of having a car boot sale, as I've been having a clearout. Only thing is, I don't have a table to sell my items on.
Do Carboot venue's normally provide tables?

Can you borrow one from someone?
If the worst comes to the worst, i'd be tempted to just spread an old blanket on the floor in front of your car and sell stuff from there. Keep an eagle eye on your stuff ,as things WILL get nicked given the opportunity and beware the dealers who descend on you like locusts as soon as you arrive.

When you arrive people will decend on your car to get the "bargains" (even before you have unloaded).
Just get out the car, lock it, walk away (maybe get a cup of tea), and leave it for 10 minutes.
Then more cars will arrive and the vultures will decend on their cars, leaving you to go back to your car and unload in relative peace.

on a more positive note muchlovex - I've done a lot of boot sales - on my own - and simply refused to open my vehicle uil I had some space - told them all to come back in 15 minutes after I'd set up - never had a problem - good luck and if you don't have a table, get some blankets etc and lay it out on the ground.
