I was very lucky today and bought a TOD'S handbag for 15.00.

You didn't buy it from a boot sale in the midlands, did you? I got one the other day for a quid but wasn't convinced it was real and didn't want to stake my reputation on eBay by selling a fake (and didn't like it enough to use it) so sold it to a lady for £10 at the last car boot I did.

goanmad, im soooo jealous of you, you always seem to find fab things, you've definately got an eye for a bargain!!!:D:D:D

Think I'm an addict, Sweetpeanut! There's a jumble sale on saturday morning and we usually come away with bagfuls of stuff at that one! :j

Shelovestobuystuff...you must be like me with a name like that. :rotfl:

I do try and be disciplined and eBay/donate to charity or swap with friends the stuff already in my wardrobe to make room for more. As I've been away the last couple of weekends I've had to plunder my wardrobe to find stuff for my eBay shop.

My OH is not very understanding of my bargain hunting urge.I have secretly deposited about 20 carrier bags of "treasure" behind one of the sofas in the front lounge(we usually only use the family room at the back of the house).Its all to be sold on, when I get round to it:o

My OH loves it, he even comes with me but gets bored after a couple of hours. He likes vintage too and we've found some lovely things for him in the past
