I cannot stand boot fairs.
Sifting through other peoples junk....does it for some I suppose.
As the saying goes " where theres muck , theres brass ".
Still with the credit crunch I suppose they will have even more people there.

I thought this said "book fairs"
I thought this said "book fairs"
I love boot fairs and always have. They fit neatly into my values regarding recycling and social welfare.
I used to buy and sell books for pin money. I started off pretty much ignorant of real values and simply bought cheap books I thought might have a decent market value and sold em on if they turned out to be worth anything. After a year or two I became pretty well informed. I had to stop then because I felt like a crook paying 20p for something I knew would bring in £50 if I sold it on.
I still go to boot fairs and still buy stuff that I need. My best purchases last year were a pair of bongos for 20p, a 70s leather motorcycle jacket for a fiver and a guitar flight case for a tenner.

they call them boot 'fairs' now do they...?
great places to pick up stolen/ broken/ dangerous goods...
i recall a few years ago..erm perhaps over ten years ago when walking round oone of these boot sales as they were then and seeing a woman approach the guy selling bikes... thats my sons bike she screamed... no its not came the reply .. a crowd gathered and the argument ensued. finally when enough people were standing around ..the lady asked the guy...look under the saddle then...and ill tell you in black felt pen that my sons post code is written there.. now that was fun to watch.. he gave her the bike telling her he had bought it ...
im sure they have their place in society but certainly in the midlands all too often they have turned into cheap markets with a no returns policy , not proper car booters as it started off but trade stands with cheap pitches.
btw we have a few acres doing nothing 5 quid a pitch and my mind will change completely on the subject

We started to sell stuff we didn't want at one in Catterick Garrison, but it was a waste of time, money and energy, for us.
I do like to go but have never been for yonks. Was gonna go to one last Sunday but the Mr was in hospital, this week we went and couldn't find the place! :cry: There was no signs at all on this main road, pointing us in the right direction. We drove around for over an hour trying to find it, then gave up

PS We're hoping it's gonna be 3rd time lucky nextweek
In edit: When we used to go as kids, we were the early bird ones. My dad would drag us out of bed at stupid o'clock to get there like 10 hrs early

I went to the huge Book Barn closure here in brizle - only to find some little tykes had broken into it the night before an ruined all the books! Makes me real cross to see good books ruined like that.
People had travelled from London etc. just to get some books (all free) and give them a new home rather than see them recycled.
There is a large boot fair on a farm in the Cheddar Valley - by all accounts its great. Might pop along one weekend just for a cuppa and cake - been told the cakes yummy!

The only thing I ever got from a boot sale that lasted longer than a week was food poisoning from the burger van.
