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.
