Thank you for your query regarding the weekly Car Boot Bulletin, we are sorry that we cannot reply to individual questions regarding the information we post, however we would like to point out that although the information we collate is primarily intended to help industry leaders anticipate future trends and access past trading, the bulletin is also useful for the general public to assess the financial value of their potential car boot stock. So we strongly recommend you look back at the bulletin archive as the financial benefits could be substantial - in this case you could have realized a net profit of £1.50 after your £12 pitch rental overhead! Thank you for interest in the bulletin, we hope it helps you make your future booter retailing even more profitable.
