Was there 3 Hours and took ?19.20

Lady next to me took ?3.00

And next table took ?6.00

It was a scorching day. Sunshine.

Just very few Buyers... with any money..

Complete waste of time.

What is the organiser like at rustling up publicity and such?

[minder]

They do advertise on here in the What's On section and have a big advert in the What's On section in the South London Press every Tuesday and Friday.

It has been a very fickle summer, weather wise. It's a good space. I do hope it takes off, I don't see why it shouldn't. I think the hours are too short, I think that's a problem.

I went to the Wimbledon car boot on Saturday and it was heaving but then that is an established do. That's on from 8am to about 3pm.

what was the Wimbledon one like? did you go to sell or buy?

I went with a audio dealer. I buy and sell too. I was a bit distracted myself with other matters, but non the less, a good mix of collectables, consumables and general stuff, a good half day out.

oh i see, if i brung brand new items such as baby stuff do you think i would get any sales?

Certainly, but why not try East Dulwich car boot first as the cost of transport will knock a hole in your profit.

[Salsaboy]

There's a big one in Stratford soon.....

[MrCheeky]

the boot sael in dulwich hamlet is very busy now

[tllm2]

I'd recommend the boots sale at Hayes Farm - the place seems to be heaving with both customers and sellers - its held every 2 weeks on a Sunday morning (last one on 12/8) ....... its 5 mins in the car beyond the Glades shopping centre in Bromley.

Sorry Mr Cheeky but you're wrong. It's not! It's like the car boot sale on Craggy Island.

[johnnyenglishnew]

Most of the queries on Hayes Farm boot sale is covered on their website posted above. Not so sure about walk-ins and have only been as a customer, but there always seems to be plenty of business going on.

Has this car boot sale improved? Last time I went it was a complete waste of time. Just a few stalls and hardly any buyers. Has anyone been recently?

[DJKillaQueen]

Hayes Farm is the best boot sale by far, for both seller and buyer (if you can get there). Plenty of space for stalls and plenty of parking space for buyers (which makes it good for selling larger and more expensive items too).

Can't comment on DH now though as I've only been once when it was starting up.

hi - can anyone give any recent info on the Dulwich Hamlets Car boot? Planning on going tomorrow and have a lot to sell.

and what time does it start?

[JJ00501]

Can anyone confirm the start time - I've found two different times in my searches - 1.30 and 11.30?

Hoping the sunny day will make it busy as I have a lot to sell.
