You can also arrange your stall to factor in the type of customers you see at the car boot sale – placing teddies and toys near the front and lower down is a great way to get kids to see them and they can do the persuading for you. I normally let the kids spread their things out on one of the blankets on the floor to the side of the paste table and they’re in charge of that bit. The blanket on the other side of the paste table (if there’s room) is usually shoes and bags and other things that are too big for the table. Any books go in a box just under the table and the clothes obviously go on the clothes rail. Everything else goes on the table for us. Small homeware items – decorative home furnishings are popular at car boot sales as long as they aren’t too big to take home

Take a few carrier bags with you as people will always ask although this weekend I was pleased to see more people than I’ve ever noticed before bringing their own bags. I had a few people ask though so I found it handy to have a few. As a rule, I have a big car boot sale box in the garage that I store junk things that we plan to sell at the next car boot sale we do and I also have a box on top of the wardrobe that I add any clothes that are too small or no longer meet the teenage criteria of being cool! To add to that, we usually use the upcoming boot sale to have a bit of a clear out and work our way through most of the rooms in the house (and the garage and garden) decluttering and adding to our boot sale pile – this time I was just in the mood to de-clutter after my dad died and I think that might have contributed to me being a bit more brutal than I usually am with the things I got rid of (hence the numerous charity shop and tip runs in the last couple of weeks). Many customers won’t hesitate to barter for an item to lower the cost. It can be a good idea to price some items higher than you intend to sell them to prepare for this. I definitely recommend having at least one box/bag somewhere that you can pop things in as and when you decide to get rid of it so you already have some things sorted out when you decide to do a boot sale. Special interests and hobbies are not so interesting anymore – or you can no longer physically do them

Car boot sales can also be prime targets for thieves , so having a friend with you can provide strength in numbers because they can help watch out for anything suspicious. It can also help to have some company during quieter moments as crowds can ebb and flow throughout the day. Aside from making the day more fun having someone you love by your side, it also helps for practical reasons, like taking a toilet break or handling the big crowd that’ll no doubt form around your table wanting a look at all the goodies!

It’s a good idea to visit the sale as a punter first to get an idea of how it works, where the best and busiest spots are, and the types of items that are popular. It may seem trivial but smiling and interacting with customers will help you make more sales as people will feel more comfortable and drawn to your stall. They may also feel able to ask questions if you are engaging in friendly conversation which can help make more sales.People look through vinyl records at the Classic Car Boot Sale in London in April. Photograph: Maja Smiejkowska/Reuters Aim to be next to other attractive stalls as this is where the crowds will form and if there are more people around your stall then you are more likely to make more sales. Car Boot Junction recommends turning up an hour before the advertised start time to get the best pitch, and make the most of interest from regular buyers.

There are often long queues of cars so plan to leave earlier to try to avoid the worst of the queues and account for it. Tip #2 – Pitch up next to the best stalls this is the only photo I took of the stall itself before we organised it properly – it was too busy after that) At Ready Steady Store, we have storage facilities across the UK including Manchester , Leeds , Nottingham , Doncaster , Great Yarmouth , Eastleigh , Wokingham & Bournemouth . So wherever you are, if you don’t manage to sell all your items in your car boot sale, you can store them until the next one. You can also upsize or downsize your unit based on how much storage you need, particularly useful if you are selling seasonal items. It does make it clearer for customers who don’t want to haggle and who may carry on walking past if the price isn’t clear.Try to get a friend to come along to help you. They can look after the stall if you need to pop away, keep you company during quieter moments, keep an eye out for thieves, and help with sales if there’s a rush of customers.
