I love them. My husband and daughter did one last Sunday and made £80 out of what I thought was total junk.
I prefer to shop at school or village hall car boots where you get a better quality of goods. WE have some wealthy areas here abouts (Uppingham, Oakham, Oundle) where the charity shops and car boots are full of good books, clothes, china and furniture.
The boot sale at the football field is full of videos, moody DVDs, broken toys and old 8 Track players.

Someone somewhere made them and thought they would be a top seller.

You're not telling me there's a man who thought that would be a good idea.

Not really my thing, I think they are old hat now we have E bay.
Ebay has had its day and now it is rubbish.
Post by: EasterBunny on July 18, 2006, 07:57:02 pm
I find E bay really useful, when you live out in the sticks like me, there's not many places you can get scarves for belly dancing for a fiver.

Old knives and forks are worth money! Look for real silver (not that hard to find), bone or ivory handles and things like apostle spoons.
In our cutlery drawer at work we recently found a 17century real silver spoon. How did that get there?? The place was built in 1948!!

First sign of madness...
.......is talking to oneself and the second sign is answering oneself back.
