rob190364 2,594 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I just can't believe someone bought a book on sticks and canes!! I can.....i'm seriously thinking about learning all about this antique stuff and going round the car boots and making some coin..... there's definitely money to be made from car boots, I just can't be doing with the people that go there, they're like friggin vultures when someone opens a car boot!!!!

Wullz 408 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thats the truth, the poles are there in the queue for the car park looking for gold and other metals off folks before they even get in!! I like a wander, but you have to be there early doors for the real bargains..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like a wander, but you have to be there early doors for the real bargains..... I went to one to sell a load of old toys out of the loft once and half the f'ckers were taking stuff out of my boot as I was unloading, some cheeky bitch was helping herself to a load of toy cars and just putting them in her pockets and then denying she had any more than a couple. I think the people that don't do it that often stick out like a soar thumb and they just zone in on them.....never again! I'd rather stick the lot in the tip than do that again! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tewkesburypat 5 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah deffo got to get there early no matter what time they say you can start selling, Saw a local guy (eBay trader) at Cheltenham car boot on Sunday buy 2 shimano ultegras for 45 pound the pair,he put them on flea bay the same day for 70 notes each and they have Gone now so someone offerd him more to take them off sale, He had 3 6010's of a guy I know last year and made the same sort of % on them, Crazy part is talking to him there he didn't really know how much they were worth, just new he had got a good deal.
