Car boots anyone?

Does anyone do car boots and if sohow much do you sell an average paperback for or a Video VHS.

I am trying to clear out and am overrun.

I've never done one or been to one Kazz but you have just reminded me that I should have a clear out....... I'm an awful hoarder..

I've done loads Karen, love 'em lol!!! Tbh, it depends on whether you want good money for them or just want rid! I usually sell my paperbacks 50p each or 3 for £1, and my videos rom £1 - £2 depending on how new they are, always be open to offers though!

It does depend what books you are selling. If its novels then they usually go for 50p-£1 range or 3 for.... whatever. If its a video recorder then it will be £10 up depending on condition. If it's tapes then they are around 50p as everyone has dvd's now so they don't sell. Visit one at the weekend and see what other people are doing, unless you are planning to do one this wkend

As a buyer of books at car boot sales, 50p or even £1 if it's a current title and in very good condition. 3 for a pound will usually get rid of the dregs too

Thank you all. I am fed up of bumping into boxes.

Okay then you experts what about paper weights??? you know the glass sort with coloured glass in them.

And thank you all.

Hmm, this is more of a tricky one! Again it depends on the quality of the paperweights. These can be quite collectible, so I would check this site out to make sure you dont have any valuable ones

Otherwise around the £5 mark for pretty ones!

I have to agree they may not be to everyone's taste but if they are collectable then they may be worth putting in auction rather than car boot, they can go for more than you would think.

While we are on the subject.... I have an old fashioned roll top enamel bath with claw feet!!! it needs re enamelling and undeneath isn't great. what would you advertise that in the paper for???? could post pics if needed

I have to amend that post as they are not claw feet they are more rounded
