Carboot Mega Thread 2014

[metalman 21]

Yesterday I went to Hope, where everyone was pleasant and bought plenty of stuff. Then I went to Thorpe Hesley where my experience was somewhat different. I bought a Good Companion vintage jigsaw puzzle off a bloke there, who assured me that it had been checked an was all there. Started doing it today to find there are already three pieces missing from the outside. I just don't know how folks can sell stuff like that and stand there so blatantly and lie through their teeth about it. So I hope you enjoy the pound you swindled me out of, and that you buy something that chokes you, you ****ing cheating ****.

I went to five car boots this weekend, Twin Oaks, Marsh Lane, Bowshaw and Chesterfield were all good but then I went to Sheffield Pedlars Corner Abbeydale Picture House Car Park Abbeydale Road and it was terrible!!!!!

All the sellers at Abbeydale Picture House think they are at an Antique Fair and not a Car Boot Sale..... no haggling was accepted...... this is NOT a car boot sale - just an over priced ANTIQUE FAIR - for anyone who wants to go to a car boot just give this one a miss to save time and disappointment!!!!!!

I am glad to read this post.I stopped there after going to Hope and Bakewell.There were four of us but we decided it wasn't worth £4 admission when we saw stallholders who we knew to have units in the rip off Antique Centers in the so called Antiques Quarter.It wont be long before the Traffic Wardens take an interest either.There are plenty of good Car Boots without bothering with this one,just forget it.

Oldcotes, M1, M18 for one junction, A631 Bawtry Road. Take turn off signposted Roche Abbey and follow that road right to end which is a crossroads/mini roundabout, go straight across and it's on your left. It's 50p for parking before 7am or £1 after 7am. RAF Hemswell is a comination of car-boot and antique market
