About the Author
Giles Chapman has been buying and selling all his life, relishing the pleasure of collecting and the excellent profits that result from years of accumulated experience. He's shifted countless car-loads of stuff at Car Boot Sales, both alone and helping friends, and developed techniques to snag every potential customer and keep them spending. Every single Car Boot Sale he's been to, as either stallholder or browser, has built his knowledge of the bargaining process, and how to make it work for you. He's put some of this to good use by writing on collecting and investing in automobilia for Octanemagazine; some of his 30+ books include Chapman's Car Compendium and My Dad Had One Of Those, and elsewhere he has won awards for his consumer journalism.
