  • We went to one of our local car boot sales to set up a stall and sell our unwanted household items. Here’s a little vlog of our morning showing how we got on during the sale & we add up how much we made at the end.

    Just wanted to clear up that we were GIVEN the no touching sign by the boot sale organisers as we entered the site & sellers could choose to use it or not (we chose not to).
    If sellers had it clearly displayed then of course I respected their choice & didn’t touch their items 👍🏻

    Love this video and love selling at boot sales. I sell records, CDs and music memorabilia, so I don't have the "vultures" problem first thing - everyone can see what's in my boxes and they have no interest. Luckily, the masses when they come in seem to be buying vinyl again, so it's great to have my pop up record shop busy.

      Sammy TheSeal fucking right too! It winds me up as I probably miss out on a decent things for my collection to some savage who can’t let someone set their stall up its embarrassing, imagine banging on the window of Charity shops before they open like “ELLO WAT U GOT IN THERE M8” so silly

    If that connect 4 game on the stall where you got the instacamera was the full bigger game you should have picked that up, they can sell for up to 30, don’t know why. Great video and nice to see you on the other side.

      They had these signs at the bootsale I went to today, I don’t think they fit with car boots - gotta touch stuff to see if you wanna buy it - it’s not like buying from a glass case in a shop! Need sanitizer....lots of.
