Best Car Boot, Charity Shop and Jumble Sale Bargains - New Thread 4/10/09

annem38

gosh what fab bargains everyone gets, i really must try harder on my scavenger hunts! charity shops round my way are pretty good but they do know what they have, mind you have had several skirts for a fiver each from monsoon, east, white stuff etc but my absolute fave bargain was off ebay, late one night after a touch of vino bid £9.95 for a gold ruby ring and won it, feeling sceptical got it valued at local jewellers for £295, was gobsmacked to say the least, and that was a few years ago, would love to know what its worth now, that being said i don't think it looks like 300 quids worth of ring, but very nice all the same and of course i love telling the story!

right, you have all inspired me to go in search of a car boot sale this weekend

happy hunting everyone

Got one today, absolutely perfect and it's by Hidesign. One on ebay at the moment going for £80 used.

Mine was.......................................£1.50 :eek:

It's beautiful condition, still has the little bag of silica inside. Can't decide whether to keep or ebay now.
