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

You manage to get stuff most weeks, I dont usually see/get any vintage stuff, every so often I find it. The ones I go are around Northants. Cheers

Did I see that x-wing and TIE interceptor wings at Wimborne Market :shock:

Hope its better then last week, Annoying thing is there is one on Tuesday and Thursday just round the corner where I work but don't get chance to go in the morning.

I've been round a few lately and found nothing, not even modern stuff. Most disheartening. Saying that, I did turn up a nice childhood collection in a house I was working in

 

[Dorsetmark]

Found this lot for £10 this morning

 

[StarWarsFan]

£10 wow nice one mate well done.

 

[Cazza]

Brilliant! Well done Mark 8)

 

[Stubbs]

Im very jealous of this. I must have been to a hundred boot sales in the last six months not even a beater weeque or klaatu

 

[Darth Bobby]

Found this lot for £10 this morning

Wow! What a bargain! All I ever find is Clone Troopers.

Brilliant Mark 8)

Best carboot find ive seen in an age, brilliant stuff, proves its out there, you just need a bit of luck

 

[Palifan]

That's an amazing score Mark and some of those troopers look really white (not to mention the condition that those Boba Fetts look to be ).

You're going to have to give us some details about how you managed to bag these at that price.

Purchases today. Apart for the Luke X-wing no coo raised bar, nothing great.

Just lucky, walking along and noticed a lonely Biker Scout on the floor, so picked him up only to be told she had a box of them.
So as rummaging through she said she was selling for a friend so any offer would be good
£10

 

[StarWarsFan]

Nice one.

me and the mrs sold at a carboot the other week in Chorleywood, we set our table up at 7am and I took 3 beaters with me as a bit of an experiment. between 7 and 730 I had already had 10 different people ask how much the beaters were and I got talking with them, well tried to...the majority were not interested in chatting and I could see from what they already had that they were only buying stuff to sell on to make more money. A man came over with a loose at-at in a bag and we had a good chat, he was a collector but had no interest in buying online and only picked up what he could at carboot fairs.

Anyway the moral of the story is if you want to find vintage star wars figures then you need to be getting there early when the sellers are still setting up otherwise come 8 or 9 oclock when the general public usually turn up it's already gone.

we made £70 that day, mainly from an old hifi I took and Christmas/house warming presents we know longer needed

 

[StarWarsFan]

Agree on getting their early i'm there for 5.50am.

Not great today. Found Bib in a random box for £1, the Wampa cost £4, the Han £3, the book was £1. The bag and the Luke Jedi capes were freebies.
