I love them, not been to one so far this year but ive next weekend off and plan on going to have a good snoop around..
You ever bought any bargains or sold 'junk' and made a fortune?
Think my best sell was some figurines i was flogging for my grandparents i only was gonna sell them for £10 but two men ended up bartering over them and my grandmother ended up with £200 out of it. I doubt that was their true value, but to her they weren't worth much, she was thrilled and £190 was more than she expected.
Best bargain was a dolls cot, buggy and pram for £3. Was pretty much brand new from mothercare but the ladies daughter just didnt play with it, was the end of the sale and she didnt want to take it home  |

I've never been to one but I'm at the point where I have so much stuff to get rid of that I want to participate in one. I'm too lazy to ebay stuff and some of the baby stuff that needs to go would cost to much to ship anyway! I wish there was "yard sales or garage sales"over here like in the States, the neighborhoods are beyond perfect for them!

I used to do boot sales when teh kids were small to get holiday money. My son bought a mini bike at one for £3, was riding round the site and a guy offered him a tenner for it which he accepted, made £7 in about five minutes  .
I used to come home with about £100 each time for a few hours work and cleared a lot of unwanted items from the house into the bargain.
I had a vintage woden jigsaw puzzle to sell at the last one I went to and a man stole it though
