If you have some spare time at the weekends and you need to de-clutter or empty the attic then car boot sales may be for you. Car boot sales will often be referred to as flea markets where you can buy discounted goods, mostly second hand.
There are many people who make an additional income stream from car booting up and down the UK and can be a great way to earn some fast cash. Pitches are usually available for around £1 to £20.
Provided you have the right stock it can be a very profitable side hustle.
It is always advised to plan in advance, know what the weather will be like. You need to check the temperature, as you may be outside for long periods of time. You also should look if it is going to rain, as your stock and you will be getting wet. Poor weather may result in a poor turnout of footfall and potentially a wasted day if you don’t earn as much as you would need to make it worthwhile.
If you plan to go regularly, every week, fortnight or monthly, then you will need a plan in place for how you are going to get stock. You may be able to get discount products from wholesalers.
Where to find local car boot sales
If you carry out searches online, or Facebook you will quickly find a number of car boot and flea markets all across the UK. Your closest car boot sale may be some distance away, but don’t let that put you off. Some rural producers of plants and food can travel upwards of 4 hours to get to their market.
