As car boots start really early we had to be there and set up for 6am, this was a shock to the system as i had set my alarm for 5am. This was rubbish timing just as my little sister was getting in from a night out i was heading out to a car boot. This shows how fun my social life really is! We loaded up the car and arrived a little after 6am but people were setting up and there were a few people looking around.
After we unloaded the car things started to pick up, people were really keen to catch a bargain. I learnt that the trick was to start the price a little higher so when you do get bargained down it wont be too far from what you were expecting someone to pay. As i was only selling mine and my sisters old clothes i wasn't planning on making millions just a little profit for my holiday in June.
After a while, when i started not feeling my toes i went for a walk around and to look at the other stalls. I realised there was potential to grab some real bargains. We managed to grab a suitcase and two holdhall bags for £2, which me and my sister we shocked about how cheap they were.
This purse was only 50p, i have been looking for a leather vintage purse for months now.
The day was a huge success! It did finish a little early at 11am and it was meant to finish at 2pm but we felt it was time to call it a day as we were starting to need a nap and some warmth. We are already planning the next car boot for next week and already raiding my mums wardrobe.
Have you been to a car boot before or do you have any a top tips for car booting?
