Car boot rained off – Whats your alternatives?

So you were all ready to go? Car packed and then the rain hit? No worries—we’ve got options for you when a car boot sale is rained off or cancelled.

Use Online Marketplaces

Utilise platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree to list your items instantly—often same‑day!

Use a Local Auction House

Contact auction houses (e.g. JuicyAuctions) who will photograph, list and sell your items on your behalf.

Use a Recycling Centre

If decluttering is your main goal, drop off unwanted goods at your local recycling centre—eco‑friendly and easy.

Give Items Away

Advertise free giveaways on community sites or social media to pass items to someone who needs them.

Have a Garage/Shed/House Sale

Host a small sale at home—while foot traffic is smaller, it’s still a chance to sell and clear space.

Conclusion

Don’t let the weather ruin your plans—use these alternatives to still sell or donate your items. Happy selling!
