I've not had time to check the whole thread, so apologies if this has been mentioned.

Have a look out for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, especially boxed ones. A guy at a car boot, trader as well, sold me 4 figures for £2. Some of them went for £10+ each. Probably made £25 after fees and postage.

Posted this on amazon book thread but putting it here too.
I saw on tv yesterday that the tv programme bad girls didn't make much memoribilia so anything out that sells well. Last week I picked up a bad girls book but put it back again and there is one on ebay selling at £18.

Not exactly ebay gold mine thread, more of a car boot sale goldmine.

Someone gave me a picture last week, it was part of a low priced auction lot they didn't want and it was going to be put out for the rubbish.

Today I sold the picture for £8 at my local car boot sale. I wish I had asked more because the lady didn't even barter.

Just broke my record for profit from a single jumble sale. I bought various vintage clothes, shoes and handbags (c.1940s-'70s), spent under a fiver total and have totalled £70.39 in eBay sales. The biggest profit was on a pair of old green Norvic Celebrity ladies' shoes which I bought for 10p and sold for £21.88.

Any textbooks or handbooks on adoption.

I was listing them, as BIN and they were selling WHILE i was doing it- madness.

I havent seen many about- & the laws recently changed too, so older ones may not appeal as much- but ver ypopular on ebay indeed.
