"Please hand over your eyeballs. We know you're using them to take pictures."

Um, No thanks, I think I'll stick to the local "Let's rent out an indoor
sports hall for the day" type hamfests.

How about "What do you intend to do with those computer microprocessors,
Sir." Ugh. No thanks.
Surely there are some other car parks and suchlike in the area that could be
used? A few years ago, someone booked out half of the local supermarket's
car park for a day (Sunday IIRC) for a car-boot sale. Not sure how much the
supermarket charged them to do it, but the sale got more attention than the
supermarket :)
Later.
