Wimbledon Car Boot Sale

There Is Me Looking Forward To Going To The Car Boot, I Went All The Way On December 22 There Wasn't One. Does Anybody Know When The Next Car Boot Sale Is On Thanks Chantelle.

Hello everybody. Can you tell me if there is a boot sale at Wimbledon Stadium tomorrow

last Wednesday (05/12/12) was my first time as a seller at Wimbledon, I have sold at many car-boots closer to my home on the South coast. I had not expected any more or less form Wednesday's sale, was i in for a shock. First the set up area, the car park seemed full of broken glass, not helpful for those with tyres in flatted with air, also not very nice for buyers with dogs or young children, in fact not very nice. Another obstacle to watch out for was the lake, a very large puddle that benefited from having a large mattress in the middle. It was nice setting up without a crown around you getting in the way, that made a pleasant change but part from that the day was for from pleasant. Once set up i could not believe the rudeness of (buyers) in brackets as i had more items stolen than paid for. A few customers were happy to pay from 40p to £3.00 for baby items (vests, clothes. coats and shoes) that have been washed ,cleaned, packed, free from defects and presented neatly, for some the cost to high. People would drop items on the floor and then walk on them, without any thought for the work and effort and cost that had gone in to getting them ready for sale. People would offer to buy the whole stall for as (much) as £25 pounds, (which is the cost to sellers for entry with a van) or 10p for a £3.00 coat I don't not mind offering people a discount and in the past have given 25% but to get up at 3.00 am, drive 70 miles, wait in the cold for hours, i would like some fruit for my labours. Once the sale was over , (which could not come soon enough) i needed to use the facilities, as these were windowless a light or lighting was of major importance, but the facilities were in total darkness. On the whole my experience of Wimbledon will stay with me for a long time, not for the right reasons. The venue is small, dirty, dangerous and poorly equipped.

Within This Year I Have Been To 3 Car Boot Sales As This Is One Of The Biggest This Is One Of My Favourites. A Couple Of Weeks Ago I Bought A LAMP For 2 pounds, egyptian papyrus paintings which were 1 pound each, some books which were 20pence each Im especially proud of The Bachman Books By Stephen king with 4 books in one that was my bargain of the day and a ornament for my mum. Very good for 10 pounds. I have been back more times and if the weather is good on Saturday will be going.

Never 2000 sellers.... The place is far too small. On a good Summer's day you might get 150 max! And that's only on a Saturday. The other two day are a lottery! If the forecast is poor the attendance is poor and sellers don't pitch. It's abit of a scramble! Riddled with those horrible granny trollies... Trip over one of those and you're doomed!

It is a nightmare for new sellers!!!!! I have spent 1 hour in a que and when I finally was there, There was a very little room compare to Hook for example...No organization!!! I never go there again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without doubt the best boot that I have ever visited. I managed seeing about half the stalls in the time available to me. Lots of interesting items from tat clothes to computers and retro Hi-Fi. I wish I had bought the 1500 watt UPS for £10, but it was so heavy I decided discretion was better than a twisted back, I hope the guy is there tomorrow (14th oct) as the UPS is MINE.. hands off, you oaf :-)

I am a seasoned Car boot buyer especially for clothes, shoes and been at it for years but went to the Wimbledon today and arrived late about 12.30noon took £1 to enter nd gave me a ticket to go in ( never paid to shop before) I got a brand new River island dress worth £45 for £5 then blazer, cardigans were £0.50 bought a dress for £1 any way took in £15 and brought 10 very near new clothings that I wil be wearing to work. Haggle though..definitely the best Carboot for a buyer.

I've Been told. It's the best car boot sale in London
