| | بازار فروش لوازم دست دوم شخصی / بازار دست دوم فروشی | Explanation:
Car boot sales are a mainly British form of market in which private individuals come together to sell their unwanted items. In U.S. terms, a car boot sale would be considered somewhere between a garage sale and a swap meet. Though garage sales are not unknown in the UK, car boot sales are much more popular.
They are often held in the grounds of schools and other community buildings, or in grassy fields or carparks. Usually they take place on weekend mornings. Sellers pay a nominal fee for their pitch, and arrive with their goods in the boot (trunk) of their car. Usually the items are then unpacked onto folding trestle tables, a blanket or tarpaulin, or simply the ground. Entry to the general public can be free or chargeable. Advertised opening times are often not strictly adhered to, and in many cases the nature of the venue itself makes it impossible to prevent keen bargain hunters from wandering in as soon as the first stallholders arrive.
They are used to sell unwanted household goods, ranging from old books, records, videos, toys, stamps, coins, through to radios, old computers, ornaments, tools, clocks, furniture, kitchenware, and clothes. However, a number of commercial sellers often make an appearance, selling vegetables, or new goods such as tools, toys, batteries, ornaments and fittings, paper, pens and stationery. Almost everything is sold at knock-down prices ranging from 10p to 50p for books, through to several pounds for the most expensive items.
