Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Forget Facebook marketplace, traders at a fledgling car boot sale in one of Hamilton’s affluent suburbs are dodging “tyre kickers” and “scammers” and going old-school.

While some were trying to clean up their over-crowded garages at the Harrowfield Club’s second car boot sale of the year on Sunday, others were testing the market to turn hobbies into businesses.
