  • Went to check out a boot sale this Saturday and its small but busy so I will have a table at it this Sat to see how it goes as a seller.I didnt get there till half way through the event but managed to pick up a bit of blue brecon ware which I collect for £2.A bargain to me because I love it.
    The boot sale is at the Rugby Club,Queens Drive ,Kilmarnock(entrance is about opposite B&Q)every Saturday 10-2

    All the car boot sales where I live are pretty rubbish!
    I bought a Fred Perry shirt in my local charity shop for £4.80! Not my size but eBay seems to like it ;)

    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:)

  • 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!
  • 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!!

    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.
