My family once had to sell at a car boot sale coz we had lost our house and had no money to raise a deposit for a rental property. I was 17 and seeing people fighting over a £1 reduction for my childhood keepsakes was utterly heartbreaking. I believe I sold a nearly complete Jurassic park play set (big dinos, visitor centre, fences, vehicles etc) for £30. I shudder to think what it would be worth now.

I grew up with my Grandparents. My Grandma was involved with the church (as most older people seemed to be in the 1980s) and I spent my weekends being dragged around church rummage sales and bazaars. It opened my eyes to how petty, mean spirited and tight some folk can be.

I used to sell off my family’s unwanted junk at boot sales, but I gave up after the last one I did because of the amount of theft off the stall and the attempts to steal my cash. It was so unpleasant.

drives me mad when I'm selling something for say, a quid, and a bloke keeps coming back. trying to knock me down to 50p. Returns back over and over to re-examine the thing, and to try and haggle over 50p. If it had a 50p price tag on it, he'd no doubt keep coming back to try and get it for 20p. Bloody idiots. I got so pissed off with all this nonsense, I eventually ceased bothering with boot sales at all.

[@markenetube]

Yeah, that and the ones that steal stuff while their friend distracts you.

[@andrewnorris5415]

Sounds easier to just let them have it for 50p then problem solved! For the sake of 50p you gave up on boot sales! People are after bargains and will try in on. All part of the banter/fun. And some things are just not worth even £1 or they would sell! Maybe boot sales not for you.

[@markenetube]

@@andrewnorris5415 I did one with my mum one. She had a Tea set for £5. A woman kept offering 50p. She came back 3 times. My mum smashed it in front of her and threw it in the bin. She ha wound her up up that much.

[@Key-Wound]

Years ago I was at a vintage toy fair, my mate Jack in his 80’s but card sharp was selling some of his collection. A guy walks up, picks up a clockwork mouse & gives it a looking over while he’s talking on the phone, it had a little price sticker on the bottom £55 - he looked at Jack & mouthed ‘can you do anything on the price, Jack nodded, took it, dropped it into a brown bag, mouthed ‘£60 ok’ as he passed it back without a flinch with his palm outstretched. Guy still yapping held phone on shoulder with head while he got his cash out, dealwas done in a blink & he walked off still gassing. Looking at Jack “I don’t believe what I just saw!” his reply “He asked me if I could do anything with the price & I could, I put it up” . . . Valuable lesson learned.

[@and7barton]

@@Key-Wound I saw similar thing on the TV a day or so back. The prospective buyer was given a knocked-down offer by the seller. The customer immediately came back with another offer which was higher than the seller's offer ! - They obviously wasn't listening to what the seller was saying.

Back in the day when me and the missus got together and decided we needed to thin out our stuff, we did a few carboots. We used to get there nice and early ( not first) and we'd get a spot,put up the table and then sit in the car without laying out any of our goods. It used to drive the other sellers nuts. They'd try the doors and knock on the windows. I used to just smile and wink at them tapping my watch. Then once the punters were circulating, we'd lay out the goodies. No Idea if we made anymore money, but it made me chuckle.

My late wife and I did a few boot sales, as we had moved from a really big property we had a lot to sell, from ornaments to garden tractors. We stopped though as the thieves started moving in, kids a lot of them, put up to it by the face veiled parents! Stealing from right under our noses then screaming like stuck pigs in foreign gibberish when caught, we also twice stopped arseholes trying to steal our cash from the car, and one piece of detritus pulled a knife on us!

I've got a MD player and about 100 md's, including some retail ones, that I picked up for about a fiver at a charity shop a few years back. Are they worth much these days? I know they're quite popular with audiophiles because of the recording quality

[@user-ld8ep5qr7m]

@@TheMatthooks The audio quality is slightly lower than what you get on a CD, but most people can't hear the difference. You can record to a more 'portable' digital format (MP3, FLAC, etc.) in higher quality than you'd get on Minidisc. But some people like to collect historical electronics and audio gear, so I think that's where most of the resale value comes from. That, and the fact that they were not hugely popular, so they're getting increasingly rare.

This is fascinating. My "thing" at car boot sales is old manual camera lenses, I have a massive interest in them and have quite a lot, which I use on my modern digital cameras via adapters. I remember my first "grail" lens purchase, a 50mm F1.4 Takumar on a Pentax Spotmatic for £30. When we sealed the deal, I asked the seller if he would stash it while I went to the cash machine, which he kindly did. I've taken quite a few pics with that lens.

[@bikeralw]

If you're talking about the replica pistol. Face to face sales between adults is fine. This applies to low powered air guns as well as replicas. However ebay ban all listings of guns, even cap guns. Even so, selling them online using sites such as Gunstar or Guntrader is perfectly acceptable. Posting is also allowed, but Royal Mail tracked only, no independent carriers will touch them.

[@ernestchadwell9069]

Air guns not legal in Scotland anymore, without firearms certificate. Even your sub 6ft-lb daisy or Webley tempest.

[@MDM1992]

​@@ernestchadwell9069only in scotland. In england and wales you only need to be 18 to buy a 6ft lb air pistol or 12 ftlb rifle unlicenced. And you can own both younger than 18 as long as someone over 18 purchased it for you.

[@markkieran1004]

​@MDM Not anymore- have to be 18 to own.

[@wotviewer]

totally incorrect. It is a Realistic Imitation Firearm (RIF) and therefore comes under the Violent Crime Reduction Act meaning it is illegal to sell to anyone who cannot produce evidence that they are a member of a recognised reenactors group (or they hold a full blown firearms certificate)

[@bikeralw]

Have you looked at the sites I mentioned, especially the Umarex Legends range? You couldn't tell the difference between them and the real pistols. Sold perfectly legally. I recently purchased a gas powered P08 Luger.

The only time I ever did a car boot SALE was with my friend, probably about 30 years ago now, I think I was about 18/19. We arrived late compared with other sellers but they still let us drive onto the field (possibly a miracle, given health and safety really - or maybe they just wanted the fee from us lol). We thought it would be a bit of fun on a Sunday, and nobody would probably want our no longer needed bits and bobs - clothes, pendants, cheap bracelets, a few books etc. How wrong I was. To me, it was an INSANE experience. I actually felt a bit scared at first. We hadn't got out of the car yet and already there were people literally swarming around the car trying to peer in through the windows and rear windscreen to see what we had. We were totally surrounded by eager buyers with a bit of a wild look in their eyes (so it seemed to me anyway lol). It's a bit like how I imagine a famous person might feel if their car was being "mobbed" by fans outside a concert or something. I found it a truly unsettling experience - I had no idea people were so savage about wanting to get a "bargain" before anyone else! Of course, I loved going to boot sales to browse around, but usually mid or even late morning when all the sellers had basically set up already, so I'd no idea about the die hard car boot buyers' ways. Turning up late as a seller was an experience I won't ever forget. It ended in fun too. Nobody wanted the patterned leggings my friend had, so that afternoon I ended up dancing round in a pub car park with said leggings on my head. The kid sitting in the back of his parents' car was highly entertained - objective achieved! No adoring fans flocking round me or my car at that point in the day though lol

[@FlippingSloth]

And that was before online reselling haha .. people actually wanted the stuff for themselves back then. How things change

[@randomnesspersonified]

@@FlippingSloth Yes lol, it was amazing how keen folks were - I suppose it could be because you couldn't buy ebay bargains then, so really, I guess you had to physically go in search of stuff fairly locally if you wanted something. My sister and her partner used to find all their kids' clothes, shoes and toys at the boot sale, charity shops, or in the free ad type local newspapers which used to land on the doormat every week. I actually sold my old Volvo banger for £50 years ago via a "free ad" type newspaper. Well really it was free I suppose because it still had 50 quid's worth of tax left on it when I "sold" it, but we had weeks of no interest in it whatsoever, nowhere to park it long term and I already had my next car - the timing was crap. How I miss the days when you could sell-on the tax disc's remaining months to the buyer of your car, and in turn you could buy a car with tax already on it, no faffing about with DVLA. Oh hell I'm writing a book, I've gotta shut up now! I agree with you, it's interesting thinking about how things have changed.

You missed a trick on the US MRE. We were based in Bosnia with the Americans and we used to swap our rat packs with them. They were mad on our beans & sausage rat packs. Theirs always had miniature bottle of tobasco sauce in it. Hhmm yummy thoughts.

When I was 11 I bought a single barreled 12 bore of a stall at our local church car boot here in the uk its stock was missing but other than that it was all working. Needless to say my mum took it back and verbally laid waste to the hapless stall holder. I'm now 47 how things change

What a silly comment lmao

[@random-person1]

@FlippingSloth how was it silly? You claim "don't buy banned item" without showing us what was banned. As for not buying, as far as I saw, you bought just about everything you touched. Did that include the banned item? Was it, as the thumb nail suggests, the cap gun, which you also bought. I'm genuinely interested just so I don't make a mistake of buying something that has been previously banned, for whatever reason. I have been going to these car boot sales events since my late 20's, so 30 years or so and have never come across someone trying to sell something illegal or banned.

[@FlippingSloth]

@FlippingSloth aw blessya, those videos are my sons, not mine. But sure, you go ahead and attack me just because you claim that something has been banned yet bought it anyway. And you have the bare faced cheek to call me sad for simply asking you to A) prove it has been banned and B) tell us that you were kidding and you didn't buy the banned item. Or you can stalk my profile again. Also, 7 years ago, my son was 9 years old and trying out something new. So basically, you're saying my son is sad for posting the videos in the first place. But for sure, you're a very angry little man who buys children's toys. Keep up the good work, fella. Or keep attacking everyone who challenges something you claim.

This is why boot sales aren't the same anymore everyone thinks things are internet prices

[@punkypete1074]

The only ones who thinking Internet prices are the flippers. I remember when car boots were a thing to go to to get obscure or rare things cheap and keep. Now people go to them to see how cheap they can get things for and how much profit they can make selling then on. Car boots are now a joke
