Carboot Sales

[matthew2riches]

I have just purchased over 500 high end candles from Colony, Colonial and Carolina. Retail prices ranging from £1.00 to £15.00 each. Normally sold in places like Marks & Spencers, Habitat and Boots.

They're all packaged in bright colours and cellophane. Lovely and smelly!! There's also pot pourri and incense sticks as well......

Do you think I could sell these at a carboot sale? Would they sell?

[Hans Mum]

yes, my DD buys candles all the time, and she would rather buy quality ones at a car boot than cheapy ones in shops
Glad youre a bit far otherwise she'd be there!!!

Someone will bite your arm of for them, I'm with Hans Mum on this one, I hate cheep smelling candles, mind you I hate cheep smelling anything. Let use know how you go on with them.

Although people will probably think they're nicked!

I love scented candles, especially the wintery-spicy-cinnamony type ones sold at Christmas time. Bets bring plenty of money to carboots in case you are there!!

Which one(s) were you planning on doing?

[matthew2riches]

With a bit of luck I'll be doing Needham Lakes (Needham Market), Trinity Park (Ipswich) and The Royal British Legion (Felixstowe).

I recently bought 'the kit' for making my own candles in my favourite scents, lavender, pine and sandalwood (especially lavender). Must get some more made this week.....
