hi, i've seen a stall in george's arcade (between grafton st and georges street) selling all kinds of old currancy. Hope this is of help to you.

Hey thanks very for your reply. I was up there the other day. got a few things. a lot of them were very expensive tho more than they are listed in the Irish coin catalogue.

Charity Jumble Sale
 
Hi all

I'll be holding a charity jumble sale on Saturday 9th August in aid of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

It'll take place in 122 The Maples, off Bird Avenue in Clonskeagh, Co. Dublin from 10am on saturday morning.

Would be very appreciative of any donations on the day from fellow Jumbletowners. We had also planned doing some facepainting and a couple of games etc so bring the kids along!

Hope that helps, jumble enthusiasts

re car boot in naas
 
hi boots, the car boot in naas racecourse is not advertised at all. just 4 everyones attention, the sale is on each sunday beginning at about 9am and going till about 3 or 4pm. it isnt very well supported by the locals ,probably because most of them dont even know its on ,or where it is located. it now costs 10 euro for a car and 15 euro for a small van. to get in to naas racecourse take the turn onto the blessington rd at tesco then take the first left onto tipper rd ,go straight up this road 4 about i minute and the racecourse is on the left. cheers, pajo !!!!!!

Car Boot Sale - St David's Greystones
 
Hi all, I’m a car boot virgin and weather permitting I’m hoping to do one in St. David’s in Greystones Sunday week. I was just wondering what sort of lay out have they got - I.E how much room do you get between each car, do people put boxes around their table, Is it on grass or tarmac, are you allowed put a gazebo up. I would be very grateful for any replies.

Regards Filo

Hiya does anyone know of a car boot sale on this sat 15/8/08 thanks

naas boot sale
 
this market has great potential to be even better than fairyhouse if only more buyers would support it. every body gets great space to display their goods ,and are genuine car booters,and they can leave when they want,unlike fairyhouse ,car booters are not allowed to leave before 5 pm.my friend sold there and she was locked in until 5 pm ..... even when her stuff was sold. "she said not a nice position to be in".also they charged her 30euro,nass is on every sunday now .I always go to have a look got nice stuff there.

Where in Naas is the car-boot sale?

DAVEDAVE 12-08-2008 10:32 AM

Car Boots
 
i believe there are a few on in Cork this weekend coming.
there was one advertised in the Cork Independent last week for the the Cork Camogie board at their grounds in Blackrock/Mahon next Sunday 17th and also i heard that Kilcully for the scouts is on as well...

i have done a few in the past and i think the best one is Glanmire followed by Rathcormac,hoping to get back into doing them again in the next few weeks.
Clutter has been mounting again.

Jumbletown is a great site and i have given away a few items and people on here are great.
as somebody said earlier carbooting is still recycling only you make a few quid and i also think it is not for everybody plus some people don't drive and for some items you would actually need a van.

it would also be great if somebody could post some tips on carboot's do's and don't and maybe a few warning's for first timer's.. i'll start,in no particular order

1.Arrive early to get a good pitch.
2. Keep prices low,people generally only want to spend a few euro's
3.Try and have a helper,certain groups will swap a stall and try and fill their pockets.
4. Keep an eye on your small items,especially if they are valuable.
5.when you first arrive don't be surprised about people crowding around your car and going through your stuff,you can make a few sales but you need to be aware of what's going on.
6. when packing up,i usually pack up slowly because it can attract people who think they will get a bargain.
7.Not everything sells,some carboots will be good for selling books and others no books will sell.
8.try and have a look around to see what others have on their stalls and if you have the same then ask the price.
9.if you have a car,park with the other cars where posssible not next to the big vans
10. reshufle the stall every few hours and move stuff around every few hours
11. Good clean clothes will always sell well especially kids clothes
i hope the above helps and is added to .

all failing that Jumbletown is a great website

Wexford: Inch & The Un Yoke
 
At Inch (about 5miles north of Gorey, just South of Wicklow, do not know exact months) on Saturday

The "Un Yoke" on Sunday (about Apr-Dec, do not know exact months) on Wexford coastal rd a few miles north of Castlebridge. There is a pub there called the "Un Yoke", where merchants would un-yoke their horses from their carriages on the way to Wexford town, I am told.

Longford
 
There is a car boot at Flancare Park in Longford on Bank Holiday Mondays only. Is about 50 stalls, mostly genuine car boots rather than market. Flancare is about a mile out of Longford on the Strokestown Road.

Query
 
Hi Guys,

Does anybody know if there is a car-boot on in Cork area next Sun. I have been to Rathcormac, I thought it was great & arrived home with such a load of 'GOODIES'??? I was hoping hubby would not be around, most of the 'Great Buys' I gave to friends, who probably took them out of politeness.

I would love to go to another one, so perhaps somebody might advise on some one in Cork/Limerick area next Sunday.

Happy Buying!!
Bunty

way to go jumbletown:)
