TIPS

 

Bargain Hunting can be anything from - visiting car boots to searching ebay. Hopefully you will find some helpful tips here.

CAR BOOT

  • Always be prepared to haggle at car boots.
  • Start the bartering far lower than you are prepared to pay - then slowly offer a little more until both you and the seller are satisfied with the final price.
  • Take plenty of change to carboots and pretend its all you have left 
  • Dress as casual as possible because if you dress too smatly sellers will assume you can afford to pay top price for items.
  • Go back a few minutes before the car boot ends to get the best possible price.

 

AUCTIONS

  • At auctions  keep in mind a final price you are prepared to pay for an item or items and stick to it.
  • Go before the actual auction to inspect the lots and decide what you will bid on.
