I wonder what I will find at the local car boot sale this year?

Doncaster Toy fair in 8 days can't wait

Will there be much vintage? It's a bit of a trek for me, but wanted to take my eldest lad..as we missed the bingley hall.

Over the years I've found some pretty unique things on the car boots where I live.
My best find was a 1950's fighter pilot helmet which I paid £12 for, sold it to some German on fleebay for £500.
Last year found a weird looking military gun scope, paid £25. After hour's of research found it was off an Israeli rocket launcher!!!! Sold that on fleebay for £100.
I love car boots, it the not knowing what you might find

there is a big one near me in Denham, its massive! takes about 4 hours to walk around the whole place.

the first time I went a bloke was selling a full vintage samurai outfit with everything except the sword, it looked really cool and he wanted £75 I passed as I had very little money at the time but would have liked to have bought that

mark lammar is a regular usually buying records, he's looking really old now, I wonder why he's no longer on tv?

Anyone found anything at Tabletop sales, charity shops etc?

Best thing I ever found at a carboot about 8 years back was a boxed and complete Commodore 64, the box was in near mint condition with all cables, cost me £4 at the time I think it was worth around £30+, was very surprised to spot it too as this was half way into the carboot hours and nobody else bought it.

Second best thing I ever found at around 2002 was the Star Wars OT on DVD for £5, copies obviously but because they weren't available on DVD at that time I was ecstatic.

[apack7229]

I had no luck today. Not a single piece of Star Wars and barely anyone showed up due to the cold. Hopefully next month will be better.

 

[Taffius]

Got these today. Not done a car boot for years. Not exactly 20p, but a few quid each was worth the rescue effort.

Hopefully be interesting to see what I find this year. Last year did well so was happy.

The only things I found last year were a cloud car and a star destroyer box. I wish I could find half of what you found.

 

[Stubbs]

This was a great thread last year starwarsfan picked something up every week. I love seeing what ppl find
out there and hope to have better luck myself this year.
