ADVICE & RULES

‘SELLING AT OUR CAR BOOTS IS REALLY EASY IF YOU STICK TO A FEW GOLDEN RULES’
OUR ADVICE
Here are a few pointers but if you have any other queries please do not hesitate to contact us via email or text.

Timing/Arrival
Its best to come to the car boot near the opening time of 7am so you have adequate time to prepare your stall. Please be patient and prepared to wait at times during the early morning set up period. It’s very important that we make no noise during the early hours and show respect to local residents.

Be Ready
Have a suitable bag, purse or money belt on you so you can keep your money safe and be ready to close a sale and make a profit.

Loading
Think about the way you pack your vehicle. Its best practise to load those items last which you need first, especially your thermos and chair. If your items are heavy ask a fellow seller for help.

Change
Make sure you have adequate change so you never turn away a customer or have to knock down your price. Please bring the correct money for your pitch fee and have it ready before the entrance as this speeds up the set up for everyone.


Table/Tarpaulin Sheet
Tables are a great way to present your stock to buyers, not only are they more likely to be attracted to your stall but they don’t have to bend down. Alternatively ensure you have an adequate sheet.

Company
It’s really important to have a companion with you if possible. Not only can they help you with setting up but fetch the super important coffee and cake or cover while you dash to the loo.

Refreshments/Snacks
Having a hot/cold drink and some snacks will get you through the event and may keep you chirpy and ready to deal with the buyers. We have food available so if you’re stuck just stroll over to the food vendors.
