What is your price range at a car boot?

I haven’t done a car boot in years but have a lot to get rid of so plan to attend one soon. I’ve begun The Big Sort Out but not sure what’s worth taking and what might be worth putting some effort into listing on a selling site. For example, I have a brand new pair of inline skates and new ice skates that I could probably get £30-£50ish for but not sure carbooters are willing to pay that sort of money?

Wouldn't pay more than a tenner for anything at a car boot. A fiver is pushing it tbh

Dont think you'd get what you want for them down the bootsale imo. I personally wouldn't take anything that I could get more than £20 for elsewhere as people want cheap bargains

You could have them for sale for £5 and you’d still get knocked down at a car boot.

Last time I did a car boot it was horrific. I was selling a pushchair for just £3...and a woman kept trying to haggle to get it for £1. One woman picked up a handbag I was selling...we were fed up so I told her she could have it for 10 pence. She threw it down and walked off. I mean FFS. I'd rather sell on vinted these days.

Thanks everyone. I’ll list the more valuable stuff in that case.
