I sometimes see cartridges in charity shops - how do you know when something's worth picking up to sell?

It's torrential here today and I was hoping to sneak in a visit to the Thursday car boot, too.
Never mind, I'm off to Goa on Monday and as it's the end of the season I should be able to snap up a few bargains from the local sellers for pennies:T

Definately, leather gets better and better with age so if you're still wearing the jacket it was a wise £5 investment.
I bought a vintage brown skinny fit leather jacket 16 years ago for £7 from a Barnardo's charity shop , it was my most expensive Charity shop purchase ever at that time and I really dithered about spending such a massive amount of money. I still wear the jacket now!
