Ebay versus car boot sales

I was hoping to take a chunk out of my (diminishing!) credit card bill by selling on some old stuff - mostly books, CDs, and some decent brand name clothing. 

I looked on Musicmagpie for the CDs but the offers were low and Greenmetropolis offers good rates for books but is pretty slow. 

Now considering putting some stuff on Ebay or possibly a car boot sale. Can anyone offer advice on which is better? And if it is the car boot sale, can anyone recommend one in Central / South London? Preferably one that doesn't require a car.

    How are you going to get to a car boot sale without a car ?

    You're not going to be able to take much with you ... sounds like eBay will be your best option.

    "Walk up pitches" advertised for some sales in London - I assumed this meant I could go on foot but I don't know much about this hence the post. Any one offer any advice?

    It can be done - went along to the sale in Battersea yesterday with a suitcase. £10 for a pitch and 2 hours later and I'd made £50 for some old CDs, books and a few accessories! Much more fun than Ebay and better prices than Musicmagpie.
