BARGAINS at our CAR BOOT SALES!
These bloody weather forecasters!
For three days the BBC weather forecast for today was heavy rain, heavy showers in all a miserable day! So loads of our customers decided not to come to Falmouth Car Boot today because the bloody Beeb got it wrong again and it was a lovely sunny warm afternoon where 37 sellers made themselves more than a few pounds. The nearly 1000 buyers spent really well.
I get constantly STUNNED at the bargains that are bought at Falmouth Car Boot. I have every reason to believe the story of one of our sellers who walked around ‘at the end of the car boot sale’ long after all the dealers and know-alls had gone home. She picked up a doll and was told “It’s fifty pee” the buyers mother thought daughter had gone mad in buying such rubbish.
Now then, they take home the doll which is legless (not through drinking) the legs were just missing, they cleaned it up and they put it on eBay and I do know the amazing price they achieved for this very rare china doll bought for fifty pee!! I await the picture to complete this amazing story so you will have to wait my lovers!
Next, before my very eyes today at Falmouth a stall holder sold a ladies GOLD watch for the bargain price of only £3.00 probably worth in the region of £120.00 but did you hear about the man who bought some men’s wellies called JIMMY CHOU HUNTER WELLIES for a tenner at Truro two weeks ago and sold them on eBay for ONE HUNDRED and FORTY two pounds! Madness! and there’s more, back to Falmouth where one lady customer bought 8 pieces of costume jewellery this year at one pound per item. When she got home she inspected one of the bracelets only to discover the 18 carat gold sign on the stunning Gold & Turquoise bracelet valued at a local jewellers between four & five hundred pounds!! You don’t hear stories like that about Rosudgeon my lovers. Rosudgeon the new Rosie in my life~
