The Missus and me stood at the local car boot this morning. Up at 5am and floggin' till noon. We wuz cream crackered [knackered for non-rhymers] and have slept afterwards like we've been abducted by Mysterons! Hard to believe, we had four cups of coffee at the sale to keep us going!
Sales were mediocre but we got rid of quite a bit of stuff hoggin' the shed. Lots of Grandkids' old toys thrown out by their Mom [noooooo, I hear you shout!], a few ornaments and pictures.
In between selling both of us had a mosey round the site. I didn't get far because near us was a huge house clearance stand with a very very affable seller. Among his wares were boxes of old tat, four items for a pound. Boy, did I rummage, my favourite activity!
Here's the small haul.
the two die-casts were £1 each and after a clean and spruce-up should look OK. I just need a cab for the Porsche trailer.
... but the old Super 8 reels were 4 for a pound! The small one drew me in with its label name, Mountain. On the back are listed loads of titles including Supercar. On the mystery film itself is scratched the title The Big Splash. I've no idea what that is.
The figures I've yet to ID, but they were a snip at 25p each.
