Got loads of CD singles (mainly indie/grunge) for around 10p each - nothing particularly rare but should recoup cost nicely and a couple of Beano annuals but that was about it.

Was most disappointed that I couldn't find anyone selling any Michael Jackson cheap tat treasured items as anything and everything is going well on Ebay, and I have absolutely no Jacko stuff of my own to cash in with to let a dear fan love and cherish forever *ahem* Boo :rolleyes:

When I was chazza shopping yesterday I overheard a couple of people asking the volunteers in the back if they had any Michael Jackson stuff. I still can't believe I picked up 2 Michael Jackson tour tees from the jumble sale on thursday!
