Field Sales


Buyers sellers floats on wheels
Examining each other’s deals
Books and pieces objet d'art
A temporary field bazaar

Scanning choosing past perusing
Discarded gifts once so amusing
Prices low though still contested
Reduced to clear all stock divested

All around the cash parading
Hustling bustling urgent trading
Last reductions sellers cry
To satisfy supply and buy


Over here, we call them Car Boot sales in the US they may call them Trunk Sales or perhaps even Garage Sales. Generally they are a sprawling mass of unloved junk looking for a cheapskate who buys purely on price.
