Do you do car boot sales / garage sales?

I never did garage sales, it doesnt seem to be so often used here in the Netherlands and neither in Denmark, there are though places in Denmark that has open every weekend, where you can rent a place and attempt to sell your stuff... I have though been considering to go through my things and see if it maybe would sell, but often I end up with the easy thing and throw it out after I asked my friends if it had any interest.

Yard sale first, goodwill the leftovers.

Hi, catalady, When I finally get around to gathering all of my unwanted items, I donate most of them to a charity organization such as Goodwill or the Salvations Army. However, I do save some items to sale at our community's annual gargage sale. Living in a gate community, I am allowed to have a gargage sale on the first weekend in November. These sales usually bring in a nice sum of money, but what I don't sell I donate that to the charities, also.

I enjoy going to garage sales. you can find some good bargains and unique treaszures there. i also enjoy having garage sales as well. it is the best way to clear some clutter away. You can also make a few dollars along the way.

I wish, Indonesia has that tradition for any unwanted goods or junks that we have in our house. In my country, boot sales/ garage sales is normally done by a manufacturer or a store for their unsold old products. I either throw the goods away, give them to the needy or sell them for a very cheap price to Pasar Loak (a market specialized in buying junks or unwanted goods).

I have never had a car boot sale before but I would just love to because of the experience of doing one and it just seems like a lot of fun. I have had about 2 garage sales and am planning on having another one for I really need the money. I have donated a LOT of stuff to charity. So I am happy about doing that because there really was a lot! Like had to drive to the shop twice cause it all didn't fit in the car haha. That is how much there was. But I never ever throw anything in the bin unless it is well and truly junk. Like unfixable. Otherwise I would fix it myself and either sell it or give it to someone who needs it. I really hate when people throw good stuff away when it could easily be donated. $-MrDollars-$

we generally have a garage sale in the spring, before it gets too hot here and it seems to go well. we made about $200. this year.

In the past year I've done three car boots, usually things that are too heavy for eBay or stuff that I want to shift quickly to make space. Things that I know I can get a much better price for online will go on eBay. And things that I don't think are suitable for either go to charity.

I have been saving all of my baby stuff, until I decide whether or not I will have another one. If i decide not to, I will have a large garage sale to get rid of it. What does not sell will go to the local thrift store. with the downturn in the economoy, I do a lot of my shopping at thrift stores and garage sales. This weekend and next are the two big weekends in my area for garage sales. For larger items, I post on craigslist and list for what i deem a reasonable rate, and always add or best offer to the advert.

I have never had a garage sale before but I do go to garage sales occasionally. I do believe that one persons junk is another persons treasure. I usually sell stuff through Craigslist (like stuff still in great condition like cellular phones, computers, bulk clothes I don't wear) and if I can't - I'll end up giving them to charities. Good luck with your carboot sale tomorrow :)
