Car boot bargains for today

So did anyone else go booting today?

I had the best one for ages, my haul are all below

Ikea Stacking unit - £20, looked on the net and they sell for £60 :)
Baby annabelle set - 2 x pushchairs, 1 x car seat, 1 x brand new cot, 1 x changing bag with clothes and accessories - £30
2 x pairs of clarkes shoes which look unworn - 50p each
1 x multi games table which has snooker, ice hockey, table tennis etc - £15
numerous clothes from next, monsoon etc - 50p each

The ikea unit is brilliant and is already installed in my spaire room - also known as my ebay room:o
The baby annabelle items will be going on ebay, I've sold 1 x pram with a changing bag and clothes before and the lot went for £102 so I know i'll make a profit on the above for £30:p

And I now have a very happy 6 year old with his new games table which I've been looking for for almost 6 months but not found any cheaper than £45

so all in all a pretty damn good day for me today:rotfl:
My first ever Ebay Challenge. So far after fees etc for 2007 - £635.72 :T

  • Went with my grandson and "we" bought a remote controlled Landrover for £8which the seller assured us was working.

    I now have one very sad little grandson with a non-working, useless toy car (husband has given it a good going over and pronounced it U/S). I hope the deceitful seller is proud of himself.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I once lied about a non-working item :o , although I'm not sure it wasn't as simple as the batteries. However I don't feel too bad, as I gave it away for free!
