@suearcher@toot.wales sharpies, cardboard, tape and sticky labels to reprice things and create funny signs. Me and my mum have been getting rid of our old things at car boot sales since the 90s, and we get the most sales when we create crude signage that gets people talking. The best one was "selling my ex husband's shit for cheap!" Lots of people came over to commiserate and grab a bargain. 🤣 And things like "10p each, I'm not lugging this stuff home" etc.

@suearcher@toot.wales we never set out to make any money beyond the entry fee, but we always do by having a very chill and nonprofessional attitude about it, and agree to let things go cheaply. We will try and haggle up clearly ridiculous offers, but ultimately a sale is a sale. Items are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. Better 20p than in the trash (or extended occupation of storage space until next time).
