Compare Selling Unwanted Items Online Against a Car Boot Sale
A wardrobe full of things to sell raises the same question every time: photograph and list each one, or bung it all in the car for one early Sunday. This compares time, fees and likely takings for a typical mixed pile, then gives a simple rule for which items suit which route.
