MARKET TRADERS
Market Traders are welcome at most of our sites, if you want to sell at any other site apart from HENDRA, NEWQUAY and MABE, it is best to ask Geoff or Louise regarding the allocation of spaces.

The majority of Market Traders visit HENDRA MARKET/CAR BOOT and wherever possible we believe that it is good to mix the market stall traders with the car boot sellers. The only times this presents a problem, is if the car booters decide to leave early, leaving vacant spaces. We will now ask all ‘car boot sellers’ who are parked near to Market Stalls to stay a minimum period and not create gaps in the selling lines. We surveyed our buyers at Hendra and 90% of those asked told us that they were ‘here for the CAR BOOT and they would look at the market stalls after’. We decided to REDUCE the cost of market traders this year to £1.00 per foot frontage, this takes into consideration the Market Traders operating costs, including travel and fuel. However, this is the PRICE and not negotiable further. All Market Traders are required to hold a PUBLIC LIABILITY Insurance and we will ask to see these from commencement of the season.

All Market Traders are required to leave their selling space clean and tidy, as it is their responsibility to take away all items of rubbish/boxes etc. Leaving rubbish at Car Boots Sales is FLY TIPPING and illegal!

We hope all our Market Traders have a GREAT SEASON and if their customers get a good bargain, they will come back!!

What did you get for Christmas? NOWT!

Before we started the Car Boot Sales we used to celebrate Christmas like everyone else buying presents and cards. The cards and wrapping papers went in the bin and most of the 'pressies' ended up in our great recycling bin the Car Boot Sales.

A kid I know saved up his pocket money to buy (under protest) his Mum a pair slippers for Christmas from Marks & Sparks at £22.00
A few days later he was at the boot sale and saw an identical pair of slippers same size brand new for £2.00
Mother had worn the slippers too late to get a refund but the kid was highly pissed off!

I'm sorry to laugh at this but he was a right 'cocky little brat' who knew everything or so he thought!

Geoff
