I've never been to one, but I assume picking up a Stradavarius or a Faberge egg is the exception rather than the rule, so I'll probably stay never having been.

You can make a canny profit if you are do them regular enough. My mother in law does about 5 a week and can turn over about £300/400 depending the weather.

Good way of earning some tax free cash.

Which the inland revenue are trying to change I believe.

Ive done a couple to try and get rid of some crap from the house rather than tipping it. What boils my piss more than anything is when you have twats raking through your boot while you are trying to set up, just in case they miss something.
Oh and the families/groups that hanf around until the end and try and buy whats left for 10p. Glorified jumble sales at the end of the day

A car boot in the middle of a damp field surrounded by scratters.

I'd hate to see what a jumble sale is like if that's glorified.

To be honest I think jumble sales had more class (and better crap).. when I was a kid you could pick up a load of Star Wars toys and Action Man for literally pennies. Great stuff (at the time).
