Does anyone know of a good car boot in Teesside.
I'm looking to sell some scrapbook supplies from a failed venture, would a carboot be a good place? I don't want to give them away so to speak so not sure if I should do ebay , or any other suggestions gladly accepted:)0 -
Does anyone know if i will be able to sell bottles of wine at a carboot? I have over 100 mixed bottles for sale (bought for wedding and unused) it doesn't look like i can ebay them?

I just need to share my stupid over joyment at a charity shop bargain today:

also got a bag of 30 plastic (but wearable) necklaces for £3, thats 10p each
gloat over... sorry folks but majorly over excited!SPC5 #1651 total so far: £78.590 -
Ooo are they really? I have 3 pairs at home which are still opened and sitting in my drawer waiting to be used, but maybe I should stick them on eBay too. I bought them in Feb I think for 50p each, and I only bought them because the charity shop had a minimum card payment of £10 so I had to make up the £1.50 difference!0

My excitement has died down a bit as no one on ebay seems to appreciate the greatness of mary quant, so maybe you won't get much profit... no considering keeping them or waiting until I get round to sorting out my online shop (pipe dream) So maybe worth using them china-doll?
Mary Quant is like the mother of high street disposable fashion, we have her to thank for fashionable affordable clothes (well I think so!)
still totally chuffed that they were 20p!!SPC5 #1651 total so far: £78.590 -
Popped into my local CS this morning and for the princely some of £3 picked up a vintage-style (but nearly new) bread tin with tins for tea and coffee inside. Love the retro style of these and couldn't ever afford genuinely old ones so reallty pleased with these.April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£1500
