OK been on my mind to put one together for sometime, not looking to make money or anything, but thee would be a cost involved at our end so Sellers would need to pay to sell etc, I did put a similar post up on the FB page some weeks back, I was met with some hostility with regards to the charges, I was saying (off the top of my head, plucked from thin air and without any research) £50 for sellers and about £2.00 per person to come in, I understand that £50 maybe too much.
A better price might be £20/£25 per car and a bit more f you have a van or truck, each car or van could have upto two people on board also at no extra charge. Vistors who come in cars could be charges £2.00 per person or a car of four or more pay £6.00
I'm in the process of getting quotes from carparks etc that hold regular car boot sales etc.
How does everyone feel about the event itself, good idea or bad?
Location wise I'm not sure yet, but there are plenty of open spaces that hold car boot sales not far from Beaconsfield Services. But again open to suggestions.
Date wise I was thinking a Sunday afternoon once a month, but every other month and only from May. Or only on Bank Holiday weekends so only three or four times a tear.
Open to hear everyones thoughts as its not something I've had any experience with. I sell various bits and pieces now and again and this would be a great idea for all the hoarders to get rid of bits they have, plus I'm looking at a couple of food vans and an on sight ice cream van too, they will also get some revenue in to help pay for the hire of the car park.
Thanks
