M&P O-zon pushchair in very good condition
Playstation 2

I would ebay them but I've lost my digital camera so I'm going to take them with me to the car boot. I know I'll probably get less but really need to clear out .

Thanks!!

check out the price that the ps2 goes for on ebay and start at that. No idea about pushchairs though

oh and remember not to be talked into selling the ps2 to the first person who comes along. They will be desperate for a bargain probably to be found on their stall a while later for a lot more money.

I have learned the hard way.

Good idea thanks poopscoop. I'm dreading the bit where other sellers rummage around your car while you set up. Will stay firm!!

yes thats it! Peering threough the window before you have even stopped the car! Walking alongside pointing into the back and mouthing an offer.

Then when you do stop they reach in and help you out with your stuff

Now you will pysl when you see them and think of this!

I've done a few bootsales lately Made abit of money!

Don't let anyone get in your way when you are setting up, i tell them politely to come back later!

I also won't be haggled down, i tell them they are welcome to come back in about two hours time and if the item is still there they can haggle then!

But, i have found that people just don't want to pay anything at all at boot sales.....
Good luck, have fun!
