in tribute to emmas carboot bargain and spotting a 10 yr old kell brook (who ??? think he's a boxer ??? )
wats the best bargain you've picked up from a car boot sale???
mine was a sombero that i got for 50p wen i was 11 and a pair of size 7 footie boots for £2 wen i was 12 and a size 5 :)
my mum used to drag me around carboot sales every sunday when i was younger,i remember getting a he-man toy,also id always get a bag of sweets that were at least twice the size of a quarter of sweets from my local shop for the same princely sum of 40 or 50p.in fact i think ill sart a post about sweets.
I love car boot sales... the sheer amount of crappy old faddy technology... heman/captian planet/thunder cats toys/videos and damaged star wars toys and super ted manuals on offer are just too much for me :P
I aint very good at car boot sales. I once sold a mega drive and 3 games and then went to burger van bought burger chips and a fanta and was out of pocket 8)
still got all of my mega drive stuff... I was obsessed with sonic the hedgehog... read all the comicsand everything... I'll have to get you clued up on roms and emulation... once its set up its pretty easy to use... you can download almost any megadrive game off the net in a matter of seconds from romnation.
Get your self a decent controller (shite with a keyboard... you either have to use W A S D for the arrows or the arrow keys... which are back to front on a keyboard (you use your right hand... the mega drive uses the left hand) and its like playing all those megadrive games you wanted as a kid :D
This past Saturday I bought 3 kids pullalong travel cases for 50 pence a piece. I once bought Buzz Lightyear and Woody in great condition for £2.
The father of my eldest boys best friend is the pasture of the local church so we go to thier table sale once in a while. Last time I went I bought 2 diesel T-Shirts, an Adidas tracksuit top and a Chelsea top all for £2.
;D
Car boot? Assuming it's like a garage sale. You brits are wierd.
Anyways I got a giant Ali-Frazier canvas that hangs over the bed in my room at a garage sale a while back. It's in a silver frame and everything, perfect condition very cool. It's the pic of Frazier charging in head down and Ali delivering a right hook. It has Thrilla In Manila bolded in the top left corner. $5! The guy was a complete ass though so I didn't have a problem taking his money. Tried running the price up on some cheap little action figure on a kid who was no more then 8 years old.
I bought an AK-47 Kalashnikov from a street market in Kuwait during the Iran-Iraq war.
It was less than £10 and I gor a couple of cases of free shells thrown in as well.
I was 14, and the guy sold it to me wothout blinking. Ha, no Health and Safety gestapo there!
If we sold things out of the back of our car boots and called it a garage sale then we'd be weird ;)Quote:

I drove in the wrong way once and some kunt bought my engine for 50p >:mad
The one I went to was full of Poles and Africans all after a bargain. Their patter is always the same...
How much dis?
Two pounds.
10p?
No, its two pounds.
I no understand ;D
Tell me about it mate ;D
We did one a few years ago and had loads of designer clothes that were just too small etc and they want em for pence.
Made around £12 i think.
Total waste of time really but worth it to shift loads of sh*t that just clogs up the cupboards ;)
Mate of mine picked up a very rare paire of toy train carriages,made in Germany in the '20s for £6.he got £4500 for them.Shitter was,they had sold the engine 10 minutes before he got to the stall to some kid for £5 and if he had got that as well as the carriages he would have got about 20 grand!! :o.He spent weeks advertising in the local papers trying to track it down but nothing!Still.not bad profit for a few minutes browsing!
Now thats a bargian "bargain Hunters"
Bobby Dazzler ;D
You brits are weird, you call a game football when the ball is clearly touching the boot and not actually the foot ;D

and according to her theres no such thing as a kosovan, as its just a province which was stolen by the albanians.

Kosovo was indeed just a province that was embroiled in the civil war/ethnic cleansing at the time.Quote:

I understand that Kosova is now part of Albania (but I stand to be corrected if anyone knows better)
I sympathse with your friend as I too often will go on about my Balkans for days on end.
so whats the difference in albanians and romanians then?
One lot are from Albania and the others from Romania 8)
