Unwanted Item - Not for re-sale - How dare you make a profit from my junk!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Apparently a few givers are a bit narked that some of their stuff is taken and sold on, they've been adding 'not for resale' to their items... Well, if they're not going to do it, I don't see the problem, it's still getting rid of & recycling the recycling. Ideally, any item you 'took' here from Jumbletown, you would need and therefore would not be selling it on anyway, however, I have foolishly been a taker of more unnecessary clutter to add to my unending pile, eventually seeing the light & either jumbling, dumping or selling it on myself. I know that some of the stuff, I have given away has deliberately been taken for resale at car boot, markets & even on eBay, and has in turn helped make a few quid for those poor unfortunates who had to get up at the crack of dawn to do so or even better some of my 'crap' has been sold on to benefit charity. Fair play to ye!

Anybody who has stuff to recycle would obviously rather receive money for it, than give it away for free. If a car boot sale came up in their locality, that would make it a bit easier for them to do so. Car boot sales are another way of recycling household junk, which is what JumbleTown is all about. And if you can make a few quid from it, rather than giving it away, why not?

I've done a car boot sale every year for the past three years. The first year I made a killing and took in over €650, I was delighted. However the last two years, have kinda put me off too - the getting up at crack of dawn thing and struggling to cover your fuel, table and lunch expenses, putting up with narky customers etc.! I made €120 at the next and nearly €40 at the last, (Note to self; must get a better quality of clutter!)
Usually the stuff I get rid of on jumbletown is the same gear that won't sell elsewhere.That's why it became easier to just get shut of it here and forego any potential profit. Just gotta be a bit more strict in the amount of jumble I take home in future.
Nearly 5000 views to this thread so far - definitely of interest to JumbleTowners (clutter recyclers). Keep it coming with your car boot information.

Unwanted item: The crack of dawn..."not for re-sale" - but for everybody , for free...

Naas -weekly car boot sale
 
Yep, it's still going on. I've spotted a few sandwich boards dotted about promoting it. Thousands of spaces according to it and a number to call if you want to book a place, which is as follows...
086 230 1229.
Good Luck!

Naas car Boot
 
Update for all.

went saturday, very quiet, although I got a few bargains.

When the weather pics up it should be good!
Lovely location!

Got Mathew Williamson top for 1euro!! (brand new with tags, a kids top, but big in size)

That good as you'd hardly get a packet of crisps for a Euro these days!

*also went to Blackrock Market today, not missing much!!*
(suppose it depends on what your looking for) Found it rather Overpriced though.

There's a car boot sale in the grounds of Milltown National School, outside Newbridge, Co. Kildare this Sunday the 18th of May from 11am to 4pm.
It's €20 entry and money goes towards the school itself. Ring 087 2260233 for more info.

I'm not involved in it myself, but I'm going to be attending - my first car boot sale.
Anyone got any general advice, dos and don'ts, etc?

Cheers, Lisa :)

Hi there
I believe there is a car boot sale on this Saturday at St Maelruins Church, Tallaght.
The spelling of church might be wrong, but i'm sure if you ring they can confirm.

car boots
 
Hi All
There's a Craft Fair on the 2nd Sunday of every month in Rush Co Dublin - its in the Church Hall just as you come into Rush. Now when I passed it last week there was scaffolding on the outside of the church so it may not be on yet - Its usually on all through the summer and its a lovely market if you're into arts and crafts.

Car boot sale NAAS!!!
 
I've been doing the car boot sales in Naas for the last 9 weeks ,since it started i've missed 2 weeks due to the weather.TBH the boot sale is not advertised at all as far as im concerned anyway!!I had one lady buying from my stall last week living over the road from the racecourse and she told me that "she didn't know it was there"till that day she drove down by chance.I think that says it all!!!!
All I know is that the charge per car is 20 euro's im not sure about other vans or that.
Aswell as this the farmers market (in the middle of the town)is also on in Naas on a Saturday between 10-3 more or less the same hours as the car boot sale at a different out of town location. There are signs up all over Naas for the farmers market and NOTHING for the carboot sale anywhere to be seen!How are people to know where this boot sale is if the organisers don't advertise it????
In my opinion the organisers should hold a family day or do something through avertising to get people to know that its on and where it is!

That my opinion anyway,for the moment I wouldn't reccomend it,at least not till its being advertised.

Car boot sales
 
Hi there

Should you fancy an outing to lovely Leitrim, you'll find Carrick On Shannon holds a weekly car bot sale. It's really good! Lots of things and free parking YAY LOL If you want to try it ... It's on the N4 (Dublin to Sligo). Once in Carrick look for the marina, take the bridge and keep driving towards Sligo. It's only a few minutes after the bridge and on your left, in a garage yard. You'll see Lidl's car park, it's just across the wee lane.

Best wishes

Advertise! i agree totally with bootss organisers can advertise their car boot sale for free on www.bootflea.com and plenty of other non specific message boards and ads pages. If only i had a telephone number for every organizer in the country........
sorry about no events in westmeath but nobody from westmeath has got in touch.

Sale of Work Whitehall/Drumcondra
 
There's a sale of work this weekend 28,29/6 in the Scout hall in the Grounds of Corpus Christi Church on Griffith Avenue. On Saturday its open after mass from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, and on Sunday its from 10am to 2pm. It's in aid of the venture scouts travelling on a house-building mission to Africa, so you might help someone as well as pick up a bargain!

The Mammy 25-06-2008 09:32 AM

Re sale of work
 
Hi alantinorossi
Do you know if the scouts hall has wheelchair access?
My own Mam is Disabled..But Loves to go to a sale of work...generally a hall suits her much better than a car boot sale, for comfort.
Thanks
The Mammy

alantinorossi 25-06-2008 10:13 AM

Hi, yes absolutely, the hall is on the ground floor, level entry with double-door access. I'd say it would be easiest for you to park on Griffith avenue and walk in from there, rather than the long walk up from Homefarm road. Enjoy!
