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

[jayjedi]

Nice haul Steve, same here today as large turnout but poor quality. Its not just today, it seems to be a bit of a trend this year, plenty of people selling but nowhere near the amount of quality items as previous years. Clothes seem to be taking over and not sure if it due to the virus or physical items slowly being replaced by digital stuff(games, music, Etc.) now starting to take its toll.

Managed to visited two small ones here, utter crap. Why on earth do people sell used panties/bras and skid marked thongs at bootsales? :shock:

I did get a chance to drive a friends Austin K3 around the countryside and get covered in oil so that kept me smiling all day. :lol:

Austin K3 worth it for that at least. Agree some crap people sell is stupid.

Cheers mate, I agree completely.

Almost the weekend again, can you believe it.

Yeah this week has flown by, there is a car boot today but it is going to be so hot and I have to queue up an hour before it opens, in a shade less carpark so giving it a miss today. There is a limit on how many people can enter, so it gets very busy, I went Wednesday, there must have been 60 stalls and all I bought was two pounds worth of DVD' for the kids and 3 thunderbirds ships. It is a shitty system if you are just buying as sellers get in at 11.00 am and then buyers are allowed in at 12.00pm so anything great is usually scooped up before we get in. I could chuck some DVD's and a table in the car but being there nearly 4 hours just to have a look round early( you are not allowed to leave until 2.00pm and sellers arrive and queue themselves from about 10.00am onwards) is not practical at the moment. I will wait until Sunday and hope for a good day.

Nothing near me that is worth going to yet sadly unless I want to drive out to some small ones that are just not worth the time of day and to pay to get in? No thanks..... :roll:

Nothing great to add but nipped into town today and found this in cash converters, I'm trying not to get into Marvel as it would be yet another money sink but I wasn't going to leave him behind for £10. I gave my normal Friday Coffee and fish and chips a miss due to the massive queues so at least I came away with something. 8)

May or may not keep him but a space on the shelf will be made for now. :lol:

Very Nice 8)

Cheers mate. Initially didn't see the Yak only saw the Barada. Clicked on and saw Yak quick snapped them up.

Well done, proof that patience pays off and you dont need to spend stupid money at times. I was able to snag one a while ago in a bundle I had purchased, wasn't expecting him to be in it along with a Tri logo Fett. The Yak face wasn't as nice as yours though but I was able to pass him on to another collector, paid for the entire purchase with a bit left over to go for a better example.

Any nice Bespin Guards? Could do with one of each type.
