On Saturday at Mitchell it was a foregone conclusion that we would be busy as potential sellers had taken note of the bad weather forecast for the Sunday so decided to sell Saturday with over 200 stall holders. Yesterday was different there were a lot of sellers we have never seen before (virgin Booters) and there were some astounding bargains once the sale had started.

I get really pleased when buyers show me some of their purchases and over the years I have seen stunning bargains. This week was no exception one lady showed me the most beautiful pair of antique silver folding opera glasses she purchased for just £8.00 and I promise to get a picture for all to see however the lady dealer is guaranteed to keep this bargain as she likes to hoard some of her lovely purchases.

Another anonymous buyer who is a great and loyal supporter of Car Boots Cornwall over many years and I was delighted that she allowed me the pleasure to take a picture of her “Mitchell Car Boot BARGAIN” still in its original box. The watch needs some attention but what a bargain bought for a fiver and could fetch up to £350.00 once repaired. I was very chuffed for my friend whom I always refer to as my Darling! By the way the cost a fiver! Can you believe it but pictures to prove, nice things happen to nice people on occasions when is it your turn? If you find a real BARGAIN show it to me and I assure you that I would treat you as anon.

Ps; These items were bought by two lovely ladies whom I have know for over 25 years and they don’t look a day older than when I first met them and I am full of bull shit but I love em because they are lovely to the sellers and get on great with all the other car booter’s and they play an important part in the great sociability of our Community Car Boot events.
