Boot Sale HiFi 2017

Why angry?

Loners are always angry. It's a part of the whole package.

[Marco]

Ah I see, maybe that's why I've clashed on forums with so many of those types in the past [refusing to be a target for their anger]!

Unfortunately, forums are full of them. In any case, you don't look angry, merely slightly miffed.

Car boot is just antiquing for poor people. Or angry loners with time on their hands, like me.

I think that car boot fairs can be a great source of interesting stuff, but I guess collectibles and antique dealers are among those picking through the stuff as it gets unloaded. There is one held about 10 mins walk from where I live,thing is I can't be bothered getting up early enough to make it worth my while. And it could be argued very easily I have way too much stuff already to be adding more to it.

There are plenty of chancer traders wanting to get in first. When selling at boot sales, I've had them come over and start going through the stuff in my car before I've even unloaded. Needless to say I tell 'em to piss off.

I can imagine.

That's the best bit. First one I did was a bit of a shocker, they come running after your van as you drive in. Second one I said to my girlfriend 'Just drive around the car park in a big circle a few times and see if they will actually follow us round.' And they did! We were wetting ourselves laughing.

Haha - quality... Sounds funnier than watching soap-dodging chavs fighting over cheap TVs on Black Friday!

Marco.

[Macca]

Aye, good times.

[Barry]

Ha- that's what you get living in an area overrun by oiks!

I always find that the nicer/wealthier the area, the better the contents generally are in charity shops and car boots...

Marco.

You should see the stuff that's put out for disposal in some of the wealthier parts of London - all because the owners are too lazy to take it to a charity shop where some good could come of it.
