Triple car booters...

Over the last 3 weekends we have done about 6 car boots to get rid of our Quality pucker gear....

It has to be said that these events after a while offer a wonderful insight into human nature and i should say kindness, most people we meet even some you'd expect not to be so kind are so. When we do the car boots we assist our stall by putting up a sign that explains we are moving to Malaysia in August.  This in its self is a cause of discussion some times at length people love to stop and tell their stories and share in their experiences if they have been or even close. We have learned so much.

I also play my guitar, i just plink a bit here and there and the attention is huge (all men i have to agree) at the last one i let 3 kids play on it they really wanted to have a go, and all of this has nothing to do with selling anything, its more about the social event and meeting and greeting people who like to well socialise i guess.

It might be because were not doing it for aggressive profit if you like just a few pounds here and there. We have even been speaking to Asian folk wearing traditional clothing to ask about the materials they are made of as when we go its going to be very very sweaty and we don't want to bring inappropriate clothing if we can avoid, and in so we have learnt that although linen can be good it is cotton which is better, but very thin loose threaded cotton allowing the air to filter through (not the sort of cotton you can buy in England as the use is limited in a temperate climate. The peoples face s light up when we ask about there clothes and are very kind and helpful in sharing there knowledge.

We are in there somewhere...right at the back i think. 

Most car boots are between £8 and £11.....and every time we have had one we have made a profit after all costs and we really only do have normal household things, last week we surpassed all expectations and made £85 clear profit after float and costs.  Mind you there was a couple of electric tools in there so thats probably why.

Anyway car boots are fun for more than just making a few pennies have a go you may be surprised, but i would advise to only got to ones in the countryside and never when raining.

Nine weeks to go..........5 car boots left .....
