Best car boot/charity shop bargain
I love a good mooch..and over the years I have acquired some nice things secondhand.I fancy myself as an antiques dealer..(I'm not) but bought 2 dishes for £5 which turned out to be solid silver, later to be sold at an auction for £385!!
A Persian rug worth over £1000..an 18th century plate..£200..as well as the beautiful and unusual things I have kept for myself..
What was your best buy??
PS. Does anyone remember jumble sales??.

Re: Best car boot/charity shop bargain
Its been ages since ive been to a Boot sale ,and ive never been so lucky as you Lilac,But along time ago,my OH helped a farmer friend out once, and my OH asked if he could have a bag of old Books that was in his Barn ,Farmer said yes .We sorted through them ,all old and dusty,when i came across a Book that looked like it was worth something ,i phoned a book dealer friend of mine ,who came out to view it ..
The price he paid us was enough to insure our car for the year .!!
