Don't know why it is but all the Charity shops around here (and there are loads of them) have all stopped selling electrical gear, and all the LP'S seem to be James Last or Mrs Mills.
Still kick myself for the one time I did see an amp which was one of the big Pioneer silvers in the S-9000 range for £50 and at the time was skint (again) so had to pass, that was a few years ago now but virtually nothing in any of them now, and as said above most don't hold any electrical stock at all.

I think it is because due to heath & safety gone mad they are obliged to test mains powered electricals before offering for sale. And as most of it is tat that won't sell anyway they won't spend the money to do it.
Here we spend our money on booze and fags not squander it on expensive crap just to give it away 6 months later for 50p down a booty.

Fortunately, around here, out with of the chav dross and layabout scumbags, infecting certain housing estates, there's a lot of 'old money' and large properties locally, especially in rural towns and around Cheshire, so the 'pickings' are generally quite good - not that I go often to car boot sales though, much as I occasionally enjoy it :)

Only ever been to a car boot once, and then purely by chance. Walking along the sea front and a car park was being used. Nothing much to see, so I moved along rapidly. I never went back.
That's because when you get there at 0630 or whatever and open up your van there is a whole crowd of them there already who will unload the van for you and then buy all the good stuff. I just used to stand back and have a ciggy while they fought like rats. By 0700 you've only got the tat left.
