us on Facebook, Twitter or your own blog. This helps us grow so we can keep providing
this magazine free of charge.
Furthermore if you get the chance to then do let organisers know that you found their
boot sale on Car Boot Journal.
Thank you for your support, we appreciate it immensely!
the price. Now this seemed to make them even more determined to buy it pointing out all the flaws
in the item both real and imagined and ending with that famous phrase you hear time and again at
boot fairs across the land; You wont ever sell it at that price. Now at this stage I knew Id won.
Saying that is the same as a toddler threatening to scream unless you buy them some sweets. I
ignored it and gave another polite restatement of the price I was prepared to sell at. This time it
resulted in a 50p being shoved at me. It was the next bit in which they did something very strange
(proving that when you are angry you stop thinking straight). Grabbing another object on the stall
they shouted "I wont give you more than a 1 for this. I gratefully accepted the pound and they
went away happy to have paid a pound for something on a 50p stall.
My point is that haggling at its best is a piece of street theatre not an argument. People from many
other countries seem to understand this to a far great extent than the British do. My second
example was played out at a boot sale a couple of years ago when I was selling a toy rhino that
moved and made sounds. A foreign gentleman expressed an interest in the toy but not at the price I
had stated. I dropped my price a little stating that I had replaced the batteries in the toy. He
countered with the statement that he was buying it for his little boy back home and would have to
post it to him. This went back and forth for several minutes with declarations on his part how his
child would die of a broken heart if he didnt have the rhino and on my part of how my children
would be heartbroken if couldnt afford to take them out as I had promised and wouldnt be able to
do that if I couldnt make enough money that day. This was all done with a smile on our faces and
ended with a handshake and with us both being happy with the price agreed. It also delighted his
friends to find someone who knew how to play the game and it gave me a chance to sell to them
and the other people who had stopped to watch.
So my tips for haggling are:
When selling work out what you need to sell the item for and then give yourself some room
to manoeuvre.
Dont panic if you dont sell the item. Most boot sales attract hundreds of buyers, if one
person wont pay what you want someone else might.
Be polite and friendly. Its harder to argue with someone who wont argue back.
Remember you dont have to sell an item no more that some has to buy it.
When buying stay focused on the price you want to pay and dont let your heart run away
with your head.
A realistic price is more likely to get a result than offering something silly. We all want the
solid gold watch for 20p but in reality its not going to happen.
Be polite, there is no harm in pointing out a flaw in an item but do it nicely.
Be ready to walk away if you cant agree a price.
Being friendly to a stallholder especially straight after a rude customer is a good way of
getting a reasonable price.
And finally the best reply to a silly offer we at Car Boot Journal have ever heard was when a person
complained the jumper they wanted to buy wasnt pure wool. For a pound, you find me a sheep
for that and Ill give you the jumper.
