ONE man’s trash is another man’s treasure – and few know that better than professional car boot sale reseller Chris Hayden.
The former police officer, 44, turned his “side hustle” into a full-time business four years ago and now flogs up to £5,000 worth of items per month.
He started scouring car boot sales for toys to make money on Facebook Marketplace as a way to fund holidays back in 2015.
Four years into doing it part-time, he quit his job and now is better known as Car Boot Chris online.
Among his biggest wins was buying a rare Team USA Olympic Podium jacket for £4 and selling it on eBay for £225 – 56 times more than what he paid.
