Car Boot Megathread 2011 - Please see first post for details of Car Boots

I went to Loxley for the first time last week and it was good, the same as other posters have said- a genuine car boot. Quality rather than quantity, Purplecat. Unfortunately, it's the last one for me as I'm off to Wales at the end of the month.

 

I personally think the competition is good. Not everyone wants a massive car boot so there's something to suit all tastes. I have no interest in going to a massive boot, breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Loxley was quite small and intimate. I get exhausted trailing a 4 yr old and a double buggy round a huge car boot. I'm also put off by car boots that (1) charge for entry, (2) charge for parking, (3) have loads of dealers selling things they bought earlier at higher prices so the small ones can make themselves more attractive by avoiding these pitfalls.

 

I can understand the comments about Tescos being the "new Blonk Street", although I think that more aptly describes Hillsborough these days.

 

Bowshaw has gone down hill in my experience (admittedly a single visit - this was enough to put me off) now that it charges only £1 to stand. the problem with this is that anyone can turn up with any old tat if they only risk losing £1 to stand. It makes for grim browsing.
