[QUOTE="subzero, post: 451756, member: 9185"] You'll never find anything at carboots here anymore, iv'e done carboots lots of times over the years and iv'e always enjoyed doing them with family since a little kid. But all of a sudden in the past 4 or 5 years they've gotten terrible with zombies climbing into your car and clawing at your boxes/bags before you even have the door open to see if you have vintage valuables or gold, this literally happened to me last year turned up half asleep at 7am in the dark to set up and I turned around after I opened the boot and there was about 30 people crowded around me all asking if I have this n that and sticking their heads into the boot to look inside boxes etc and fighting over each other to find that hidden gem that you're not aware you have, so they can buy it for pennies and resell on ebay. So if you turn up as a normal buyer and don't go as one of the vultures picking everything in the first 2 mins of that boot opening then unfortunately you don't stand a chance now, this has got much worse since the 08 recession hit and iv'e been twice now and last year was the last, never again!, they've spoiled it for genuine buyers/collectors too it's such a shame.
