Elsie van der Merwe said she started coming to the car boot sale when it started some years ago, and has never looked back.
“Now I always book a spot at the car boot sale because I enjoy it here. We are pensioners and rely on the car boot sale to enjoy an outing and sell some of our second-hand items. “It is a good vibe and the people are friendly and caring. I get to make money while also making friends. I made more money than I expected here today,” said van der Merwe.Leslie Makawa, who was selling handmade wire bicycles at the craft market, said he doesn’t miss the monthly affair.“I make these bicycles, which started as a hobby, and am glad to be making money.”
Erika Meyer, a market stallholder who sells arts and crafts, said the market is always a good place to make money. “I never regret coming here and we have even expanded the business to two stalls because of being a vendor at the market,” said Meyer.
