Malt 379 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 The two carboots I visit often are at Carmarthen Showground and Carew (big one there in the summer months.) Ive had a fair bargains from laptops, retro consoles to strimmers. I used to think it was all old junk, how wrong I was.My mate is out the one at Carew every Sunday morning without fail, loves a bargain! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 With bootsales you have to know the area. Carmarthen is a country town and country things sell well. Singlton in Swansea is a town boot and country stuff sells cheap. So you buy country stuff in the town boot on a Saturday and sell it in the country boot on a Sunday. Simples. I have seen Carew mentioned a few times. Most of the people who go there in the Summer are holiday makers, so small and cheap sells there well. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
