car-boot-sale

Trunk-based flea market

A car-boot sale is a British outdoor market where people sell used goods from the open boots (trunks) of their cars.

Sellers pay a small fee for a parking space and display items on tables or blankets beside their vehicles.

The American equivalent is a yard sale or garage sale, though car-boot sales gather many sellers in one location: We found some old records at the car-boot sale.

Also spelled car boot sale.
