This was a very good Car Boot Sale and it was very worthwhile travelling 40 miles to attend. Unfortunately it has now deteriorated rapidly. The Wednesday before last I took only a fraction of my usual take. Last Wednesday was even worse, only about 8 vehicles were there and very few buyers.
I can only assume people are staying away due to the sharp increase in prices for both sellers and buyers. If the organisers don't address this immediately I will no longer attend. £15 for buyers is far more than any other car boot sale I have ever sold at and £2 for buyers is far too much for such a small venue.
When my customers tell me that it has improved considerably and the prices have been cut drastically I will make the effort to come.
My local Car Boot Sale charges several pounds less to sell and less to buy. The last time I attended there were around 100 sellers and it was packed with buyers.
Organisers! Improve...

Really disappointing we travelled all the way for such low quality items and could walk around it in...
Read moreI stumbled across this car boot sale on my morning dog walk so I didn't have any money on me. I thought I'd have a look anyway and could pop back later if anything caught my eye. I assumed it was free to walk in, so I did. I was then told it was £1 to enter. I explained that I hadn't intended to stop here so had no cash on me - I was told in no uncertain terms to 'do one' from one particularly rude, arrogant steward in high vis.... Not the sort of confrontation you expect at a car boot sale at 830 in the morning! It didn't look very...
