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

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.

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

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.
 
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.

Great i love finding loose figs in the charity shop nothing beats that feeling. All my bootsales are off now due to rain probably the same everywhere but i went over to SRP toy fair this morning and picked up this B wing £11 ok no canopy or guns but battery covers intact and the wings work cant complain.

Roll on the dry weather and open bootsales
