We call them garage sales in the US but the same thing is happening. The
sellers go look at E-bay and find the highest price there and that's what
they want for the stuff. (without the trouble and expense of listing their
item, packaing and shipping it and all the other hassles of internet
sales!) Garage sales in the US are a waste of time any more. BUT I still
find bargains at the scrap metal places.

Subject: Car Boot Sales (Was: more talking to the press.)
So, travler, if you'll ever make it to the island, don't
forget to stop by any car boot sale you can find.
I think I must clarify that further and say 'stop at any car boot sale
that's not in the south' because I'm hearing more and more reports of people
saying things like 'but these sell for loads on ebay' while they're trying
to get 30 quid for a NES or something like that.
