Car boot sales
Car boot sales are very interesting places to go shopping. There are all 1sorts of things for sale. People pay between £5 and £10 to sell things at the car boot sale. They then open up their car boot to 2show all the things they are selling. People often have a lot of things to sell, so they use a table next to the car to put things on.
People decide what price all their things are. Usually customers try to 3bargain and offer a bit less than the price. They are usually successful! Here’s a list of some things you can buy at car boot sales: clothes, pictures, gardening equipment, baby clothes, toys, plates, records, CDs, books and even furniture!
Some people go to buy things at a car boot sale every week. They only spend about £2 or £3 but get some good bargains. It is a good way for people to sell things they do not use. It can be very 4sociable as well, and even better if the weather is good!
eBay
eBay is another way of shopping, 5completely different to car boot sales. You sit at home on your computer and search the eBay website for something that you 6need. When you find it, you can look at some pictures of the product and then put in an 7offer for it. If nobody else puts in a higher offer, you get the product! Sometimes the products are new and sometimes not. People usually buy things for a cheaper price than in the shops.
2 Read the article again and mark the following statements true or false. Correct the false statements.
1 You pay over £10 to sell things at a car boot sale.
2 People only sell from their car boot.
3 The prices of products at a car boot sale are all set prices and cannot change.
4 You can buy things to use in the garden at car boot sales.
5 You can get some good bargains at car boot sales.
6 Car boots sales can be good fun as well as a good place to sell things you don’t want from your house.
