Bristol

A question about : Bristol

Hi,

I'm thinking of doing a Car Boot in Bristol in Bradley Stoke, and I'm wondering if it's the best one to do for selling?

Can someone local please advise.

Thanks.

• hi paulina,
  personally i think the best car boots to sell at here in the summer are witchurch on a saturday afternoon and keynsham on a sunday(although they are not every sunday-could check dates if you want to pm me).
• Hi,
  Thanks - I think I'll try the Keynsham one as I live that side of town.

• I live north of bristol and have noticed a large car-boot taking place weekends in a field next to the M4 just before the M4/M5 intersection travelling west...........................but I can't for the life of me work out how to get to it but it's always ,always busy
  any ideas anyone:confused:
• I have no idea, but I was just about to post a similar thread, as I was reading about someone who picked up a breadmaker for Ј2, and wanted to start trawling them!! I used to go with my dad as a kid on Sundays too, and always had fun. As I live in Bath, this is a great thread, and if anyone can pm me details about local car boots id be most grateful!!
  (oh - and if you are selling at one - pm me a list of what you have for sale, I might wanna reserve something for a good price for both of us!! lol)

• hi paulina,jo and everyone!!
  the whitchurch car boot is saturday afternoons...best time to get there is about 12pm.
  the keynsham one isnt regular....i know there is one next sunday the 31st as im doing it but could check the other dates for you if you want and post them? its sunday mornings....best time to get there about 7.30/8am.
  tollgate car park in broadmead has one on sunday mornings too....best time to get there about 7.30/8am....but this one isnt as good in the summer as its undercover so tends to attract less sellers.
  frenchay common have one occasionally on bank holidays....next bank holiday is 29th august so worth checking if they have one then.
  bradley stoke do one and ive heard its good but not sure what day/time.......thats the one you've seen trafalger.

• Hi everyone,
  Learning to save - I'll be at the Keynsham carboot on 31st - see you there!
  Trafalgar - The carboot you've seen from the motor way is the one in Bradley stoke - you would need to exit at Aztec West and have a map to find it (Trench Lane). It starts at 8am and is every Sunday in the summer.
  Jo - There is a car boot every Sunday next to Lansdown race course. It starts at 8am. P.S. I haven't got a breadmaker for sale!
  Thanks for all your replies.
  Paulina.
• Thanks Paulina!! Lansdown race course is really close, every sunday is excellent!! Ill be there next week, as I didnt see this in time for today - oops!!

• Theres often a nice big boot sale in Gordano School Fields, Clapton Lane, Clapton in Gordano(Portishead basically) the turninig opposite the school. Think one coming up soon-if I see any signs I will post details here
• Went along to Bradley Stoke a couple of weeks ago and nothing was going on, are they all finished for the year or where else can I sell all da goodies from a big clear out:confused: ?
• The bradley stoke one is good for buyers, but not so for sellers. My better half did one in portishead and sold loads of stuff for really good prices, and then did the bradley stoke one a few weeks later. She said there was to much competition and the result was thet the only way they could sell stuff was to almost give it away. Some people do only sell carp, but my partner is quite fussy and it was all quite good stuff. My advice would be to find a mid sized one in a reasonable area.
• I did the one on frenchay common this year and it was pretty good ... however i went along to the one at whitchurch and even if i said something was 50p!!! they would still haggle!!!!
• My friend lives in Bristol but always used to do a car boot at Brean on bank holidays, she said she was selling utter rubbish left over from previous car boots and still managed over £100!
• I'm looking for a good one in Bristol to sell at this Sunday. I know that there is one in Stroud but would prefer Bristol, as it's closer to home.
  What would be the best one? (and what time would I have to get up!)
• anyone know the contact numbers 4 bradly stoke and portishead as im tired of turning up for sales to find no one is there
  thanks
