Be part of a day aims to bring the community together for a fun, hopefully cheap, day of shopping and socialising.
Time is running out to be part of The Springs Advertiser’s first car boot sale to be held at Stable Inn on March 28.
The day aims to bring the community together for a fun, hopefully cheap, day of shopping and socialising.

Tips for a successful day
• Pack your car in reverse order to the order in which you want to display your goods.
For instance, pack your table last so that it is the first thing you unpack.
• If you have valuable items to sell, keep these near you where you can ensure they are not stolen.
• Keep your money hidden. Money belts or lockable money tins work well, but keep them near you at all times.
• Make sure your table is large enough to hold all your goods.
• Bring lots of change so you don’t lose sales owing to a lack of change.
• Keep your prices low so everything goes.
• Use price labels to make your prices easily seen.
• Catch their eye with an attractive display.
• Get there early to enable you to make your display attractive.
• Have fun and smile.
