Why are car boot sales nonexistant in the USA despite their popularity in the rest of the English speaking world? These are super popular in the UK/Canada/Australia. Why does the USA not do this???

The USA has these. Look "flea market". We also have garage sales, yard sales, block sales and auctions. The only time you buy something out of a car's trunk in the USA is if you're buying stolen goods from a thief in ghetto.

We dont do this but every mexican does. They sell roses , watermelons, hand jobs and their children on side of road out of their shitty truck. White people do yard/garage/estate sale because we have a house. Guess the EU is worse off than the illegals here.

Lmao selling random useless shit out the trunk of your car, not even our trailer trash do that in the states. Give it a few more years of Biden europeanizing the country with socialist policies though and it will turn third world very quickly.

We have this every Thurs/Sunday. Saturday as well but its usually dead and mostly for produce/chinese goods.

The center red is the main junk market. Ive been going since i was a kid. Selling a few times a year. Anything you want you can either find one broken, an outdated version or something along those lines.

Got into collecting calculators, watches, clock radios, cassette players, boomboxes, vintage PCs, etc out there. One time i almost started collecting telephones. 1st phones i bought were 7 digit who the fuck knows what, 2nd phone see-thru plastic i passed on, by the 4th phone i found it was a fucking coin-op bedside motel payphone.

Sounds a bit like swapmeets.

I have no interest in buying used items. I either buy new and if its old enough i just locate it online. Not about to spend months trying to locate a rare item

As I said to the other moron, go to the old timey ones, and the antique ones, mexican and blacks don't have old stuff and avoid the deeper countryside since they are scared farmer fred might make them into plant food or barney fief will put their ass in jail for dope.
