If you speak to people it seems that everyone has been to a car boot sale at least once in their lifetime, but why do people go to these events? Is the reason for people going to one of these sales down to hunting for bargains or being dragged around the event by your Gran?

Whatever the reason this are these sales dying out or are they worth visiting? Well the simple answer is, its up to you really. There are some legitimate reasons to going to one of these sales.

Reason 1

You could really pick up a few bargains when you attend one of these sales. The reason is that most people have no idea on how their things are worth and some of these are actually worth a bit of money which is why you should always haggle people for the prices. You can quite often pick up really cheap DVD’s and Video Games for yourself and there are programs on television aimed at looking for cheap antiques in a car boot to sell at auctions for a large profit.

Reason 2

Be nice to the old granny and carry the things that she buys from the nutters that sell things at these car boot sales. Perhaps if you are lucky you may get 50p at the end of it, oh to remember the days in which 50p was a lot of money.

The Bad Things

Reason 1

It all sounds a bit dodgy if you ask me, scruffy looking people trying to sell you second hand good from the back of a car? It sounds like something the law should be getting involved in.

Reason 2

The problem is you have no idea if the item works until you get home. The problem is that when you are getting some like a DVD you cannot test to see if it is working until you arrive back home which means you cannoy return it.

So if you are thinking about being one of these sellers it could be worth looking into Audi leasing or Van Leasing to make sure you have the room for all the junk. Car leasing is also something else you could look into.
