The worlds ****test car boot sale

[Ian H]

My missus just told me to pull up here so she can have a quick look for a buggy her sister can use when she comes over from Australia.

There are about 10 cars and she has been gone 30minutes.

Should I leave without her?

quick look

Well, you fell for that one hook, line and sinker!! You only have yourself to blame IMHO!

How did that clothes rack fit in that red Punto(I think)?

Reminds me of the time I took my kids to a cheap zoo. There was only one dog in it! It was a Shih Tzu.........

Are you owed any commission from the sale of her?

Damn, your right. I should have learned when she bought those 'cheap' shoes!!

Unfortunately not, I haven't got a ring on her yet.

bought some great stuff from boot sales.. I think we had five buggies in total, never spend more than £5
Got a couple of pub bikes for £10er, micro scooters etc. My Son even managed to get a Haro BMX for £20 which we could easily sell for £80+
I've never understood why people don't sell their stuff on Ebay.. rather than boot sales.. by the time they've paid their pitch fee, I doubt any of those will break even.

I find the eBay listing system time consuming and even at the end there is no guarantee of a simple sale. Being able to throw everything in the car and not have to write prescriptive pieces for each and every every is quite an attractive proposition.

They come to pieces!

What the rack or the Punto?

Reminds me of a review for the Fiat Uno Turbo i.e.
"Goes quickly. Especially at the sills."
