Car boot sales are traditionally marginal sites of social interaction and often the diverse groups and individuals who compose the community are not in strong positions to exercise political agency within mainstream society.

The car boot sale is a vital cultural event in terms of social relations, alternative economies of exchange, value judgements, conservation and preservation through the circulation of objects and their affects.
