keep doing the car boots till it gets too cold. Aren't lofts a nightmare, you just put stuff up there forget about it and then it all just piles up and up. Mine is bulging as well, I just keep putting off the day of reckoning.

Leah was very enterprising, yesterday she held a sale of her things at the end of the garden, in the park. She made her own notices and posted them round the local houses. Me being the sceptic didn't think shed make anything was proved wrong. She made £23 and was very pleased indeed.

Unfortunately 4 trips to the tip were not enough and now the spare bedroom is bulging BUT the loft is nice and clear!
Still undecided about the car boot sale- any offers for a singing Santa on a sled?

You should really try Ebay. I have sold some absolute (what I thought) c**p. It really is amazing what some people buy!!! I always tell them exactly what they are getting, but still they pay me for it. Car boots are too cold. BBRRRRRR!!![

Has anyone tried selling things in the LOOT magazine. I know its free to advertise but theres so many people advertising the same thing its a gamble whether yours gets noticed or not?

The only downer with car boots is everyone wants you to say 'here's my stuff take it I don't want ANY money' no-one wants to pay ANYTHING!!! You sometimes just have to be really firm an tell 'em not to be so tight!!!

My stuff is all accumulating in the spare rioom ready for the final boot sale. Did one a few months back and sold quite a lot of stuff.
It seems such a waste of a day though, especially when it is cold.

I had a great day out on a cold January in Kingston, surrey, doing this. Made 400 quid selling all my Cds. videos (starting DVDs) , books, sports gear..
everyone else was selling the usual kiddies clothes and old jigsaws..I had so many people milling round my car, at one point couldn't take the money fast enough..
Had a ball..
at one point my old man came down and I had to hand him pockets of one and 2 pound coins..
