I got a Billabong red/white gingham shirt (£1.50) and a FCUK Pink jacket (£1.50), both for ebay. I also got a turquoise glass ring for me (50p) identical to one I nearly bought for a fiver on Brighton seafront a couple of weeks ago

There wasn't much else really, one stall was a girl who'd clearly gutted her wardrobe, and almost everything she was selling was Roxy / Animal almost half of it still had its tags on, but she clearly knew her stuff and was charging proper prices for it, she was selling loads though

I did this last week and got loads of funny looks and 'you could sell this on ebay you know' type comments. Although I did check what I was losing before selling.

My boyfriend and I's bargains last week/this week have been...

- plant pot with a chip in one side- free!
- 4 massive ceramic plant pots- £4
- 3 matching round ceramic plant pots - £4
- 1 extra big kitchen sink sized and deep ceramic plant pot - £5
- Another complete Brownie uniform for ebay -£1.50 - sould make around £20.
- 7 current womens books £1 (for all 7).

I love this thread, although I worry I might have sold some bargains too!:rolleyes:

Hey,

Me and OH have just tried our hand are selling at a car boot sale and made £85 after pitch money and float. Not bad for a pretty lazy mornings work.
I also snapped up;
Winnie the pooh embroidered disney button up shirt- 10p
M&S Rose bath foam - 50p
M&S Rose body lotion and shower gel set - 50p
4 prints to decorate my diary with- 10p
Rose scented bath pack with gel,soap,foam,bath puff,bath salt etc- 50p

I love rose scented things and find i can snap up plenty at a car boot sale. Which keeps me nicely in stock, I know the m&s stuff is normally around £5 and god only knows how much the disney shirt was originally.

Happy hunting ladies and gents.

All your amazing buys are making me so jealous. I've been in Camden as we went to see the Manic Street Preachers last night. Did buy a lovely dress in Camden market and ate the most amazing fajitas by the lock though which almost made up for missing the bootsales. Oh, and we saw James Dean Bradfield yesterday afternoon too which was cool, and they were fantastic last night!

Bring on next weekend
