ok……Back to the GOSSIP! Marge!

Marge was at Falmouth Rugby Car Boot Sale recently when a seller had put odd bottle and tools in a scruffy box that no-one took any notice, on close inspection Marge picked out an old perfume bottle from the box. There was still some perfume in the bottle but the lable had been stained by the perfume leaking. How much is this asks Marge….Fifty pence please! Marge paid the 50p thinking to herself ‘my daughter will think I am mad buying something like this’ When she got home she cleaned up the bottle which revealed the maker BACCARAT! When daughter arrived Marge showed her the purchase and they decided to look up eBay to see if perfume bottles would sell. The best thing to do was to sell it on eBay and see how much it would fetch so excitedly they listed the bottle. Within the seven day auction the 50 pence bottle had reached a STAGGERING £185.00! Well done my lover! x ………………………………………… Which reminds me of Louise bought a pair of boots her size at Truro Cattle Market Car Boot Sale for £5.00 took them home but they did not fit so she listed them on eBay. 7 days later the Dubarry Boots went for £175.00 and the buyer was delighted-so was Lou! By the way if you are selling regularly on eBay you should keep all your postal reciepts and cost of items with an account of how much profit you make. If you sell on eBay the Inland Revenue could well enquire about your sales in their efforts to cut down the crime of money laundering. Similary if you are selling on a regular basis at any of our Car Boot Sales and are claiming any benefits at all then you have a duty to advise the authorities of any incomes from Car Boot Sales. Its in your own interest-talk to us for further information! Geoff X
