I turned up to my local carboot yesterday in chorleywood with only £65 in my pocket, i wish i had taken more. i never expect much these days apart from a few beaters but boy did it turn up!

i walked down the first section and right down the end i find a loose at-st "how much mate?" £7 mate!" "will you take five?" yeah go on then" im thinking great start, the seller then tells me someone down the next line of stalls has a load of old star wars stuff so i look and in the distance i can see a boxed rebel transport!!!! so i get a move on and the blokes whole stool is mostly boxed vintage star wars (and im thinking balls ive only got £65 on me and pay day isnt until monday) anyway what are your prices on all this then mate?
boxed semi complete ewok village £80
boxed at-at semi complete £45
boxed complete rebel transport £35
boxed complete millenium falcon £40
boxed complete slave 1 £25
boxed complete snowspeeder £20
boxed wampa palitoy £10
boxed jabba playset missing bowl and pipe £30
boxed landspeeder £25
loose speeder bike £15
darth vader collector case with 30 loose figures £100 or £3 each per figure
25 diferent backing cards £1 each

in the end i bought the falcon, slave1, wampa, luke farmboy, yoda, boba fett and boba fett backing card for £60.

i said to the bloke i get paid during the week could he hold stuff for me but he wanted rid of it that day he said take my number and if theres any left i could buy them at a later date, i called him at 1030 after i left the carboot and he had sold all the rest as a job lot for £280 :(

someone got a bargain.
 
Lucky find. At least you got the Palitoy Wampa. Nice one 8) I would have picked up that and the At-At.

also picked up slimer for 50p and the stone roses lp for a pound.

forgot to take a pic of luke, yoda, boba and bobas cardback.
 
What a great find, its good to hear booty like this still exists and at a decent price. Shame you couldn't have picked up some more but still some great pick ups.

Must start researching the local boot sales
