is it worth going to work??

[nickstokefc]

me and my lady did a car boot at Stafford common
on Sunday for 3 hours,then it pissed down and we came home,
then Sunday we went and did another at eccleshall market,
we got there at 8.30 and left at 3pm,
we got home and counted up and we made 511 quid for 10 and a half hours work,
if we were guaranteed no rain every Sunday i would pack in work

Thats fine if you have an endless amount of shit to sell.

[Northy]

then you would have to declare it to the tax man ???

I enjoy my job, earn a decent wage and have good friends there as well. I've never been to a car boot sale so I wouldn't know but the thought of it is not my cup of tea.

As said above, if you’ve got droves of shyte lying about that you don’t need then go for it.

I suspect where the plan would fall down would be when you ran out of clutter to flog and then you basically would be buying to sell so it wouldn’t just be pure profit.

I don’t think you’ve thought this through to be honest, nick……….ya fired.

Nick i have taken your advice and quit my job.

I made the princley sum of £38.10 at the car boot and after i realised that no one really wants to buy my "Are You Being Served" memoribilia I now have nothing left to sell.

The £38 i made has to go towards the king size pasting table i bought to house my stock.

I have now missed my rent payments and have been kicked out of house and home, my girlfreind has dumped me and gone after an office administrator from Fegg Hayes, she says its for his devilish charm and rapist wit but i know its because of the money. My parents have disowned me as they feel the shame unfairly attached to car boot vendors.

So with no job prospects, no home and no girlfreind I have decided to move in with you, i feel sure that my mentor (you) will provide me with lodging and guidance. So let the good times roll as i am now Luke Skywalker and you are Obi Wan the car boot force is strong with us.

Also just to let you know mate i require fresh towels every morning, i eat sirlion steak for every meal (the diet plays havoc with my bowels, but you'll find that out soon enough), i am allergic to most types of wool so your going to have to get the whole house re-carpeted and while i'm with you i will require a live in car boot consultancy wage of £350 a week.

I'll see you at tea mate.
