Don't worry I won't be selling fakes
Well, I was thinking I could take my 4gb nanos there, some 360 and ps3 games, Then like phone accessories and sim cards, would that kind of thing be ok ?
Cheers
Lewis

You can only give it a go.Its about becoming established,getting return customers,being there in the winter and summer.If you are outdoors get a gazebo for when it does rain.Having the stock for potential customers to view.Cannot really comment on how good your things would sell but i used to know someone on smithfield sunday market who was doing very well selling phone accessories.Good luck.

Yeah, well I don't imagine I would sell many ipods and games etc, then again, saying that, they would be about £30 for a game and £105 for an ipod nano 4gb which is cheaper than the shops.... But, I could probably do ok with sim cards etc.
Its only £5.00 to get in when you go, maybe its worth trying it for a month or so each week to see If I make any money....
Cheers for your help

I dont think anyone would go to a car boot sale to buy an ipod or similer, to much risk of it being a fake or refurb etc. I would of thought video games would be ok though it all depends how good your prices are.
Also you gotto think people only really take pocket cash to these places so selling low value items like accesories etc is probable the way to go.

Yea go for it mate you never know you might sell a few, personally i'd be a bit careful though as someone might grab one off your stall and do a runner.

Yeah, I'd probs keep em in a bag and put a piece of paper down and tell people about them rather than keep everything on view, that would be a bit unfortunate! :P

Never knew about limits to what you sell. I guess that's because the boot sale I go to is pretty much all traders selling new stuff, packs of lighters, tabacco tins etc about 8 people all the same things.
