The problem with carboots is either everyone wants something for nothing and they mess you around, or haggle you down... if you are buying, it’s hard to find a stall that’s selling to make space (and will allow haggling) rather than selling for profit so either way you can’t win

Sofia dober you would love the UK if you’re a fan of History?... there’s probably more history than anywhere else in the world? But Car Boot Sales over here are usually on a Sunday morning....and very early in the morning too lol. They start around 6 or 7am, and you have to be early to get the best stuff. And if you want to go to sell your stuff, you usually have to pay on the gate to be a seller and get a pitch. They’re not too expensive though... usually around £5 to £10 GBP for a car pitch. At the end of the video, Nic said they paid £11 for the pitch in this where they were... so that’s about $14 USD

If you are working out your sales total only (gross), you add back in your bay fee, not substract it. Yes it is an expense and needs to be subtracted if you're working out your net takings after expenses. Perhaps you were. Sorry I'm new to your channel so forgive me if I missed something.
