I've just started watching your videos and felt compelled to comment as I have been enjoying them SO much! I ACTUALLY DID...EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO...FOR OVER 35 YEARS! Yep...over three decades. I started "booting" in 1982 actually. I have literally walked around PROBABLY A THOUSAND boot sales! I originally started off selling at antique markets in and around London, like Bermondsey and Portobello. Did that for over probably 20 years. Selling just my boot sale buys. Then in 2002 I started an Ebay shop, from which I sold to all over the world. I have literally sent hundreds of parcels to all corners of the globe. Had a very good living out of it until about 2017, when my knees finally gave way and I had to have both knees replaced. For years and years, I would tramp around up to 4 boots on a Saturday, up to 10 on a Sunday, and several throughout the week. Exactly the same as you do...back and forth to the car...over and over again. In the end...my knees just crumbled by the time I hit my late 50s, and I was never the same after that. Completely retired from it now. Havnt been to a bootie in about 4 years. But...I miss it SO MUCH! I just can't physically do it anymore now at 63 and with numerous physical ailments. The thing that REALLY fascinates me about your videos is HOW DIFFERENT the stuff is that re-sellers buy now...compared to when I was doing it. In "my day"...80s/90s/Noughties...we were ONLY looking for old school antiques really. Very few people seeked out the sort of pop culture collectable that now seems to be the mainstay for re-sellers. I would never in a million years have even bothered to look at things like...trainers...or...film memorabilia. How times change! In some ways...I kid myself that I could still do it...and I imagine myself running around at the crack of dawn...exactly like you do, and exactly how I did...for four decades of my life. I absolutely lived it... And my life hasn't been the same since I stopped it. 😞 But...your videos have brought it all back to life for me! So...thank you so much 😊
This is such a beautiful but sad story at the same time 🙏🏻 maybe get a scooter I know mobility scooters are not the best of thing to use but if it gets you out to a boot sale then that’s all that matter. Just have a little mooch around and see what you find 👌🏻
This is a brilliant comment! Love it. Sorry to hear you're unable to go to the car boots anymore but like others said, have you thought about a mobility scooter? The car boots near me are mostly on concrete not in fields so not sure if that's an option near you! Enjoyed reading your story :)
When you open those percolator’s check under the top part that the large washer/o-ring is still there otherwise a bugger to use. I always pick up the Bialetti ones when i see them.
Top tip for you …..carry a few bungee cords to strap stuff in place when your trolleys about to spill over 👍great video as always surprised you didn’t pick up the Captain Scarlett figure with the drinks cups ….
A guy at my local car boot . Has 3 TDK sealed cassette tapes £7 sticker on them . Been on his table all car boot season 😂 surely you’d realise after week one they ain’t gunna sale at that price . Lovely pick ups 👌🏻Jay
Little Basil Brush is £3 … cos it’s her collection?… 😂 some people man! If that was in our thrift store it’d be tossed in the 50p box because he’s small! He’s from a collection, he’s not a collection on his own. He’s just a small toy 😆 altho maybe come by our thrift store we know nothing about toys n stuff we just toss small ones in the 50p box or 20p basket and most teddys are £1 unless they’re big. Especially when I’m in the back because I can’t be bothered to keep carting a bunch of toys up stairs I’ll always try toss them in the 50p box whenever I can to save the trip upstairs haha
Very true, but the vast vast majority are pretty worthless unless in amazing condition, so you gotta REALLY know your stuff if you wanna make any money off them (or manage to get a whole box for really cheap)
i would of got the dms depends when they were made but they don’t make steal toes anymore they was very high quality so for the working man there great funny enough i work in a wearhouse and resell and i want a pair lol but hard to find
My hoover vacuum has a separate button I have to push didn't realise til was showing my friend roller , wasn't going round, and pushed button behind on or off button and it started turning

That’s only 12 car boots a year

@@abdullahthecollector5462 aluminium ones suck if they are corroded though but yes I agree
Thanks for a lovely video. You guys are living the dream.
Yes we are

@@NigelJ-xl2zf I actually carry some cords now 🙏🏻

His goods, his price! To many go to these events now trying to rip sellers off!
Excellent content as always,my fine man😊
13:00 One comic to rule them all...
Aw man I would love that Jurassic Park car! 😃🦖
@@emeralduk20 cool right

10:40 what was the white little monitor.
I used to buy laptops cheap even if not working parts, screens, keyboard, original power adapters..it all about knowledge....
Which car boot is this?
I could not believe you left that Jurassic Park Car Behind 😮😮
@@Flippingwolfresells sorry 😞
The golf BAG is the money
You need to keep a eye out for dicast model cars lots of money to make on them dinky corgi etc
Very true, but the vast vast majority are pretty worthless unless in amazing condition, so you gotta REALLY know your stuff if you wanna make any money off them (or manage to get a whole box for really cheap)
Which car boot is this
Brilliant as as always jay
Great vid jay dog
The roller works when you push the vac?
No it should spin when the head is uncoupled from the handle
My mrs believes she’s an expert when it comes to theses hoovers. Possibly if it’s on the hard floor setting it won’t spin?
@@Jon-h4l she’s not wrong but this one’s just broken 😞
Do you have much trouble selling second hand shoes and flip flops ??
@@ronnierobinson1502 depends on what they are
I would of loved to been there because I would of brought the F1 clothing because my partner and my daughter are massive fans of F1
Great content 😊
Thank you 😁
A scooter free day!
@@andynightingale7335 sadly
8:29 if you're all about making profit then Turtle figures would be worth abit as they look like that they are original
i would of got the dms depends when they were made but they don’t make steal toes anymore they was very high quality so for the working man there great funny enough i work in a wearhouse and resell and i want a pair lol but hard to find
@@milosalder3856 they just don’t sell as well that’s why I left them 🙏🏻
Hi Jay what’s Jonny’s TH-cam if he has one?
The early bird buyer 👍
just goes to show , theres loads of ways of earning money
They Doc's just seemed dirty, looked worth it to me
Steel toes sell for way less
@@FlippingSloth ahhh !
You missed a take that duffle bag in a box near the PlayStation. Sell for 15 ish
I don’t buy steel toe docs
0:29 - minus £2
lol true 😂
wen i see ebay resellers i double my asking price n sell on ebay myself haha
@@Ashs-mini-vlogs good job 👍🏻 maybe you should of been doing that to begin with .. or are you too lazy?
Yes I walk round carboot with a I'm a eBay seller sign round my neck just so you know 😅
@@FlippingSloth lol touchy
@@Ashs-mini-vlogs no your just a tit
@FlippingSloth oh touchy eBay reseller
The belts come off, two minutes at the most to fix it brother
I have a Shark vacuum and the roller only works when it touches the floor. But they are pretty crap vacuums on the whole.
Second hand mens shoes? Ewwww! No thanks.
Horny for woman shoes then‽
Paying £2 to go look round a car boot is mad
@@Scottphoto26 why
Yeah you're right, not much else where you can invest £202 and triple your money!
Oooo book ends but then not book ends???!!!
Yes there letter holders I believe 🤷♂️
@@FlippingSloth ahh nice!
@@janebass3372 there Nice but idk if you would want them
It probably had cotton or hair round the roller stoping it from working Dyson are prone for it you missed a bargain
@@anthonywallace8534 no Jonny bought it and it’s broken
not a Dyson. telling people they've missed out. i know your sort.
@@markbennett6037 😂
Your willing to walk around junk though so expect it
Interesting take
@@FlippingSloth true though you spend your life doing that as career
🤣🤣🤣💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That rare Luigi plush sells for £1k
I brought one the other week
who is desperate enough to wear 2nd hand shoes.disgusting.and who uys these old toys.just junk in my view.
@@andrewthomas2406 good story it really changed my life 🙏🏻
How weird - I had EXACTLY the same hoover in my hands with the EXACT same issue yesterday in Leicester - she wanted £35 lol
Haha
My hoover vacuum has a separate button I have to push didn't realise til was showing my friend roller , wasn't going round, and pushed button behind on or off button and it started turning
@@lorrainedaggless9687 really where is the button?
Since when did you have to pay to go into a car boot sale
@@anthonywallace8534 how do you think they stay open?
@@FlippingSloth round my neck of the woods it’s free
@@FlippingSloth They stay open by charging the sellers a fee and charging to park your car, I would never pay to walk in one.
Every time if its private land
@@alanfrost4661 even our council run car boots on public land charge entry 🤦♂️
great video £500 from a days work gained a sub from me
Thanks this was actually only 1 of two sales we go to 👍🏻
