[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 451809, member: 6563"] The climbing into carboots is nothing new, IMO. I remember going to carboots in Chester in the early 90s and people were being forceably removed from the boots by the sellers then! I remember one guy having a stand up with a particular buyer who he refused to sell him something the buyer had removed from the seller's boot. Told him to do one and that he'd be selling it to someone else. So funny. Record dealers and computer games resellers seem to be my pet hates at the moment. They're both particularly pushy and underhand in their dealings. Saw one smartly dressed middle aged record dealer haggling for a dozen records. The old lady had been asking £24 and he wanted them for £20 and it wasn't just a "if you don't ask" kind of offer, he really didn't want to give in: he had an armful of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Probably upwards of £150 worth. Just no need at all. We all love a bargain but if I see a Yak Face for a quid I'm not about to offer 50p. Struck out at the weekend. 3 car boots and not one purchase. The only vintage I saw was the barrel of a tripod laser cannon. [/QUOTE]
