TIPS FOR TRADERS..
10 TIPS FOR SELLERS
- Bring something like pasting tables to sell your items from. (Also could bring clothes rails, old blankets or plastic ground sheets.) We do not provide these.
- You can arrange your items on cloths, it always looks more appealing than straight onto a table.
- Get there on time if you can as there are usually early buyers and you don't want to miss out.
- Have some idea of what price you are charging, you can price up articles if you like,bring lots of small change so you are prepared for a sale and be prepared for bartering. Don't hold on to things if you can't get exactly the price you want, remember it's the whole amount you go home with at the end of the day that matters
- If when arriving at your pitch, there is a crowd waiting, do not feel panicked into unloading, just lock up your car and wait to get your things out until after they have gone, they will return later.
- Make sure if you sell electric items that they work, are safe and have no Plugs.
- It's a good idea to do your selling with a companion, then you have the freedom to take turns to visit the loo or get food/drinks or generally have a look around.
- Always be aware of unscrupulous people, as Car Boot Sales are no different to anywhere else in Society, keep your money on you and keep a look out on your table. Also keep your car doors locked.
- Good idea to bring a plastic sheet in case it rains, to just throw over your table, then you can start selling again as soon as it stops.
- Remember our Car Boots are operated on lovely green fields in Summer Months In an environmentally friendly area, always take all rubbish and all unsold goods home with you.
