I love car boot sales. I get a real rush from going along and not knowing what treasures you may find. I love digging through other people unwanted possessions to see if I can find a bargain.

 

However, as much as I love all of this I don’t love early mornings on a weekend! I have to get up early every day of the week and be semi compos mentis, I really don’t want to have to do it on the weekends too. So when I was invited to try out a new Car Boot app called Shpock that I could use from the comfort of my own home I jumped at the chance.

 

Shpock

 

So what is Shpock and what does it mean? ‘Shpock is a motley name and means “Shop in your Pocket”.’

 

Boot Sale App

 

‘With Shpock – the boot sale app for beautiful things – you’ll find the most beautiful things in your neighbourhood and sell your things quickly to other people around you.’

 

How Does it Work?

 

Make cash at home Shpock is really easy to use, you simply list the item that you wish to sell, including pictures, writing a title, a short description and set your price.

Once you’ve listed your item other Shpock users can see it and ask you questions and make you a private offer.

 

You also have the option to share your listing via Facebook, Twitter, SMS or email.

 

What I like about Shpock…

 

  • It’s free, easy to install, easy to register and easy to use.
  • You can type in whatever you are looking for into the search bar and it automatically brings up these items by the closest distance to you.
  • You have the ability to like any of the items that you are interested in so that you can come back to them later.
  • There is even a free category where people are giving away items completely free!
  • It’s free to list and sell your own items.
  • There’s a whole lot of free going on there!

 

What I dislike about Shpock…

 

  • My only small criticism is that I wish the distance away calculator was in miles and not Km. I’m not good with Km.

shpockIf like me you enjoy car boots sales but have an aversion to early mornings at the weekends then I’d definitely recommend checking out the Shpock App. The app can be downloaded on iOS and Android devices.

 

Happy carbooting!

    1. No you can mooch as you put it. It shows you everything for sale within a certain distance of you and as you scroll down the distance gets further away. You can also browse the different categories like Fashion & Accessories, Home & Garden and Cars & Motors. There is also the option to save specific searches too.
