Default Car Boot sales!

Well dreaded half term has arrived, So this morning got up at what i thought was 8.15 to get a cuppa and have a cig before everyone else got up. Then realised it was actually 7.15 o decided to wake every one else up and go down to the car boot havent been in years.

And believe it or not had a good morning I got a set off brand new halfords ratchet spanners for 15 quid r lass got a brand new hand bag for a tenner (because you can never have too many!pmsl) and the kids spent about a tenner on bits n bobs,

so for about 50 quid with mcds breakfast had a good morning. Other bonus was police raiding it and watching loads off stalls throwing fake dvds and jeans in there boots lol

Used to love doing car boots when I was mobile. Used to live local to a huge one at Furnace End that took most of a day to go around. Made some absolute bargain purchases that in turn made me some incredible profits. Some weeks I made more from buying at car boots that I earned at work. I picked up an old magnifying glass from one that cost me £3. It was etched around it's frame with a presentation dedication to some rail boss. I put it into a specialist railwayana auction and it made £570 under the hammer.

Funny enough me and the missus were just on about these this morning, we were thinking of taking a load of stuff down to see if it would sell.

Mainly old books, dvd`s and some clothes (no idea if the clothes will sell?)

I also have 400 x 2009 AA Road Atlas`s from an old promotion at work that i could do with shifting before its 2010
