You don’t need to be a dealer to get great finds (or have a good time) at a car boot sale. Here’s how to make the most of your morning:

  • Arrive early. The best items go in the first hour — but don’t panic buy.
  • Bring cash + a bag. Some sellers have change. Many don’t.
  • Don’t skip the odd corners. Real treasures are often where crowds aren’t.
  • Ask questions. Most sellers love to talk about what they’re selling.
  • Negotiate politely. It’s expected — and usually respected.
  • Take your time. Sometimes the best thing you find isn’t an item — it’s a great conversation.

This is a short version of the full guide coming soon.
