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

[Ruby2511]

Some bloke who said he was a toy dealer tells me he has a box full of hundreds of vintage Star Wars figures all £3 each so he takes this big plastic crate out of his car and there all modern apart from 3 beaters I found which were an emporer, chief chirpa and logray but they were in such bad condition I passed and the guy was like 'oh are you not buying any then after all that?' I just laughed and walked off.

Was going through another box of junk and found swatch watch thinking it would be 50p or a £1 and lady was like yeah that's £20! Again I just laughed and walked off

That's the problem I'm afraid, went to a car boot the other week and some people just want full retail for their tat. I was looking for a chainsaw and saw one that clearly needed work to tidy it up, the guy wanted 130 quid for it, needless to say I walked away laughing :lol:

Anyone find anything?

Please tell me someone found something. First time in years where I haven't bought anything.

Well I had some success this morning finally!

Picked up this wampa for £2, very happy!

Also someone was selling these two ships for £25 each but they were missing a lot of the bits so I passed on those.

Someone selling a lot of antiques had 4 beaters in a bag marked £25 which again I passed on those at that crazy price
