ive previously bought things from a carboot and cant see a problem as to why you shouldnt as long as you check them for damage and clean them then id say go for it :thumbsup:

Yes, it's fine as long as they are safe, undamaged and can be thoroughly cleaned before you use them
Happy bargain hunting!

Yes not only ok but very sensible !
I buy a lot from jumble sales and never get upset if a child breaks a toy as I've usually only paid a few pence for it. I might feel differently if I'd paid loads of money.

Car boots are great for buying toys! Charity shops good also :)

I swear by car boots!!! It is amazing what some people practically give away. I recently got a Little People house and huge garage - £4 for both!!! They were both in immaculate condition too.

Car boots, charity shops and freecycle are all fab!:thumbsup:
CCO's encouraged us to get toys and equipment from these places on my course!:thumbsup:
