just check your articles carefully (have a look on ebay and see if there's something similar to what you want to get rid off... Might be you get a better price for it if you ebay it. You can also see what price they are going for on ebay... not always a great way to tell, but a pointer.

I got caught out on this, I sold an item which was bought by a trader and sold for an unscrupulous price... silly me I know... but we live and learn.

I enjoyed it though, but be prepared for people to barter over something that is 20p, another good idea I saw some people doing, was putting items in to a box and marking it up as £3 the box lots and so on. Plants are ALWAYS popular, and go early, but be prepared to have an onslaught of vultures who want to see your wares before you've even opened the boot!

It is fun though. We took our camper van and made bacon butties, which proved a great attaction in getting people to our stall... the smell...the wafty bacon smell attracted them and we had offers to buy butties (which we couldn't do of course).

EWIS...
