A new attraction at the market is a boot sale where people can get rid of their white elephants or unwanted items. The rule, according to organiser Thinus van Staden, is that the sellers can only sell from the car’s trunk. No gazebos or tables are allowed. Sellers can put up an umbrella for some shade, but all sales are strictly from the trunk. "So whether its clothes, food, ornaments, kitchenware, or books you want to sell, you're welcome."
