INFORMATION FOR CAR BOOTERS and MARKET TRADERS

Car Boot Sellers
Most of our sellers fall into this category. We consider these to be stalls which sell mostly second hand goods. These stalls are where you will usually find the cheapest bargains.

Market Traders
Market Traders are welcome at all our events. These are sellers offering new, collectable or home made goods for sale. They may range from professional market traders to one off sellers. Prices may be a little higher but you can expect higher quality goods and a reasonably professional service.

Insurance
Redline Trading Company have FULL PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE for all events. All market traders are reminded however that it is their responsibility to have their own public liability insurance in place. We may request to see evidence that this is being adhered to.

We also recommend that car booters have their own liability insurance for their own protection. You may be covered under your household insurance, so it could be worth checking. If you sell at car boots regularly it may be worth taking out a policy which may cost around £50 per year, take a look at this web site for more details.
