I went to a car boot sale this morning and was wondering do they have car boot sales wherever everyone is?
Obviously those in the UK do...
I know from tv America has yard sales.
Anywho it was awesome, I bought a pile of n64 games and a really old dance mat (I never had one when they were popular and I was curious sweatdrop )
Actually now I think about it the US won't have 'em 'cos they call them trunks not the boot...

Basically a load of people selling stuff out the back of their cars in a field. It's usually a load of rubbish, old clothes, ornaments, toys and gardening stuff but you can get old games, books and music and if you look hard enough you can get some good stuff really cheap ^_^
I guess it's the same sort of thing

A little bit actually does improve your coordination, but a lot doesn't... unless you're playing air hockey xd
I've never seen people sell junk out of their trunk in the U.S., only in their yard and on eBay. We do have Flea Markets where people get together inside a building and sell their junk.

Flea markets are people being mobile with their stuff.
Some neighborhoods around here have their yard sales all the same weekend. The biggest one is the kickoff for the yard sale season, it's on a island of sorts and you can only get their over one bridge. If the bridge is up nobody moves!
