To better understand the buzz surrounding this trendy market concept, content creator Jason Chen spoke with several vendors who sell goods at the car boot sale
In a three-minute TikTok video, Jason asked the sellers how early they booked a spot to set up their car trunk.
The majority of vendors said they camped at the car boot sale the night before the market opened and paid RM20 to RM30 to reserve their spot.
"Today's sale is a bit slow, but I earned around RM600 the first time I sold items here," said one seller.
"This is my first time selling here. Previously, I sold my items at another car boot sale spot in Shah Alam, but it's better here because there are more customers," said another.
With hundreds of vendors eager to sell their pre-owned goods on a weekly basis, this vintage-market-on-wheels is a must-visit for Malaysian thrifters.
