just off to the wonderland of tat and pearls that is Pendeen boot sale, hopefully will find be something better than a basket of moles on offer last week.
But I did find a bike for a quid, belt drive and working brakes!
I managed to buy two Kane flue gas analysers at the Pughs auctions in Ledbury for £8 last year. One was dead but the other has been fine since a £150 service and calibration. £400 new.
My Dad once carved me a huge phalus as a joke.
Must have been 14″ long. Was meant to be a kit hanger.
I sold that to a lady at Cannock car boot sale.
I often wondered if… 😳
A pair of Rockshock Judy’s for a tenner. Quick wipe over and some air and they did the rounds on many hacks for well over 5 years.
A spanking new pair of Shimano DX pedals for £5. Still running them 10 years later.
I found an old Leica film camera at a car boot sale in Kamloops in Canada last summer for $10. When I at the boot sale I was thinking hmmm Leica, I know they are expensive, went home and looked them up and nearly shit my pants… they were all prices between £1000-2000!!!!!
I eventually sold it to a Leica specialist in London for £880 with a lens and case (needed a refurbishment)

To be fair, I just saw the Jay Adams name and bought it, then googled it later 🙂
Few years back got an original 60s mint copy of the Rolling Stones “Let it Bleed” for £1. Don’t know or care if it’s valuable, but its a lovely thing.
Also, with my kid, bought a couple of original toy Transformers for 50p each. We had no idea that they would be valuable (it was long before the film was made), so only bought 2 from this kid’s collection of about 10. Gutted, they would have been worth a fortune!
My old camping kettle and nested set of pans
I bought them 30 years ago (Gulp)
The frying pan is still non stick despite being used on fires and with metal implements
