Selling at a boot sales for the first time is just a matter of knowing what to expect and how to cope with it. Many first time sellers get hooked and love the buzz of a good car boot sale. Our car boot sale advice and tips are intended to act as a guide for everyone but are especially useful for first time sellers.

Choosing a good car boot sale is key to having a fun and succesful day. If you have time check out your local car boot sales and boot fairs first, as a visitor. This will give you a valuable insight as to how the events operate and whether they are suited to the car boot sale items you wish to sell.

Many large car boot sales now have websites that will list times, prices and dates. However, these are not always strictly adhered to so it is worth checking them out in person. And while you are there take a few moments to chat to the stall holders about the event. The information they can provide can be an extra insight and may be helpful in choosing where you decide to sell your boot sale stuff.

If you don't have time to check out your local car boot sales then our guides and advice should still prove very useful on the day.

Some car boot sales are one-offs but many are regular and almost all of them advertise in local papers and on online local 'whats on' websites. Pitch fees, times and rules vary for all boot sales so so make sure you have the correct information about the car boot sale you choose.
