NEVER SOLD AT A CAR BOOT BEFORE ? FEELING A BIT NERVOUS ? THEN READ ON TO MAKE YOUR DAY AT THE CAR BOOT BOTH GREAT FUN AND PROFITABLE
1. TRY AND GET A CLEAR IDEA OF PRICES BEFORE YOU UNLOAD AND IF POSSIBLE PRICE UP YOUR MOST SIGNIFICANT ITEMS WITH STICKERS FIRST
2. TAKE SOME PASTE TABLES, PLASTIC BAGS NEWSPAPER FOR WRAPPING AND SMALL CHANGE
3. DO EXPECT THAT TRADE BUYERS WILL TRY AND SURROUND YOUR CAR, YOUR STOCK AND YOU PARTICULARY IF YOU ARE AN UNRECOGNISED FACE.
DO NOT BE PHASED BY THIS, IF YOU PREFER FIRMLY ASK TO BE LEFT ALONE FOR TEN MINUTES AND MOST DEALERS WILL ABIDE BY THIS. HOWEVER BEWARE THAT BY DOING THIS YOU MAY LOSE SALES AS DEALERS DO NOT LIKE TO COME BACK LATER !!
4. DO NOT ASSUME THAT BECAUSE A DEALER WISHES TO BUY SOMETHING IT IS WORTH A FORTUNE !! OFTEN DEALERS PAY VERY GOOD MONEY AND ARE YOUR BEST POINT OF SALE
5. DO TRY AND STAY AT THE CAR BOOT AS LATE AS POSSIBLE. NOW YOU HAVE GONE TO ALL THAT EFFORT IT IS WORTH MAKING A DAY OF IT
6. DO BE PREPARED TO BRING UNSOLD STOCK HOME AS IT IS NOT FAIR ON THE ORGANISER TO EXPECT THEM TO DISPOSE OF IT.
7. DO TRY AND RING THE CAR BOOT FIRST IF TRAVELLING SOME DISTANCE TO MAKE SURE IT IS STILL ON
8. TRY AND DISPLAY YOUR ITEMS TASTEFULLY AND WORK THROUGHOUT THE DAY AT FILLING EMPTY SPACES, TIDYING YOUR PITCH, STRAIGHTENING UP CLOTHES ETC.
ABOVE ALL ELSE STAY CALM!! YOU'RE THERE TO HAVE FUN, HAVE A GREAT DAY
