MINIsOnTop 2008 Boot Sale!

Back By Popular Demand: The MINIsOnTop 2008 Boot Sale!!!

Ok, folks...time to clean-out your boxes of MINI/Mini parts, crafts, least-favorite relatives, and other unwanted items -- the MINIsOnTop Boot Sale is ON again this year!

A WHAT?

A Boot Sale is like a Tag or Garage Sale, but all the items being sold by a single seller must be able to be transported in the boot of his/her MINI. The Boot Sale will take place at the Loon Mountain Lot between 8:00am and 11:30am on Saturday, June 28th. Your treasure may be displayed on a single small table or one small tarp laid on the ground in front of the boot of the parked MINI. You must provide said table/tarp.

What kind of items can be bought or sold?

While a basic MINI theme should prevail for most of the items being sold, other items may be included like books, magazines, crafts, baked goods, pet accessories, and other treasures. Items for sale must not be hazardous; for example: no weapons, no fireworks, no really long books that don't have any pictures, no nuclear waste, and other such stuff.

Rules? Do we have stinkin' rules?

We kindly ask all sellers to observe the follow rules for displaying their treasures:

• your display surface (table OR tarp) must not exceed 4' by 4'
• the display surface, and the objects on it must not present a hazard to children, pets, or maniacal MINIsOnTop attendees
• signs will be allowed, but cannot exceed the height/width of a raised MINI hatch door
• no tents or framed shelters may be erected/used
• all display equipment and signs must also fit in the interior of the MINI

Cool! How do I register as a seller?

You do not need to formally register in advance as a Boot Seller, just indicate that you are planning on being a seller in a post to this thread. A list of potential sellers will be kept and updated on this first post.

When you arrive at the Loon Lot, show your MINIsOnTop 2008 registration tag to the Traffic Control "Guide", and tell her/him that you will be a seller at the Boot Sale. She/he will direct you to the appropriate Loon Lot area where you will be parked with the other Boot Sellers.

You should plan to arrive by about 8:00 in the morning at the Loon Lot, since the MINIs will be leaving for the day's drives after the drivers' meeting at 11:30am. The trip from Gorham to the Loon Lot takes a little over an hour. You may also continue the Boot Sale in the parking lot of the Auto Road later in the day, but a separate Boot Sale area will not be defined there.

All Boot Sellers are encouraged to remember the official MINIsOnTop Charity, Make-A-Wish of NH.
