@suearcher@toot.wales I've sold at well over 20 boot sales. Merchandising: Try to have some items that will draw people in, even if you have no intention of selling them. Don't let eye candy items go too soon or have some spares that you hold back. Arrange the goods to tell a story or at least make it easier for people to absorb "themes" by grouping. Buyers can get cognitive overload if you go too dense with packing items on tables. Have some boxes for people to rummage through, people like finding treasure. Pricing: Allow 25% haggle down room on all prices. Price stickers aren't usually worth doing but writing down your own guide for yourself can be helpful as it means you don't have to keep all that information in your heads. Have a strategy for bundling. Beware of people who attempt to bundle nice things with cheap things, in order to get nice things at cheap thing prices. If you're trying to clear as much stock as possible be careful how you frame that, as people don't like to buy things that they think "you're getting rid of". That last one sounds weird but it's definitely a thing, low prices can deter people! At the start, dealers will come around and try to buy stock for their stalls, this can be a blessing if you want to move a lot of things but don't sell too cheap or sell the "crown jewels" that you need to attract buyers. Security: Keep your car locked as much as possible. Take extra care and don't rush with money. If buyers are rushing at the start unload in stages, discourage crowding around open car, even if it means delaying unpacking. Keep the float out of view of customers but where you can see it.
