Farnborough car boot sale
by EddyFARNBOROUGH boasts one of the biggest Sunday car-boot sales in Hampshire. Attending the sale has become almost a weekly routine for us. I, in particular, like to visit a stall that sells photography equipment.
Foreigners represent a big fraction of the buyers; often, they will buy many items without even checking their condition. I believe that those are sent back home as gifts or for resale. As the saying goes, one’s man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
This lady looked rather downbeat, probably from poor sales. It had rained all morning, and there were puddles in front of some stalls, which kept potential buyers at bay.
Sometimes the sellers are selling for a higher purpose than just getting rid of their junk. When I am browsing, I try to make eye contact with them for some encouragement.
