Evening all, Well after a bank holiday of serious car booting, 3 sales visited in all, with John Doubleboost, we both come back smiling
The sun was shining as we set off with our usual arrangement (he goes one way around and I go the other) , to save any ugly incidents where we both spot the same item at the same time lol.
This is my collection at the end of the day, all in all £32.50p spent ..............not bad at all , even a Yorkshireman or Scotsman would be proud
Its not that clear to see some of the stuff , but amongst it are 25 reamers , some tapered , an 18V Dewalt drill , a Makita 18V battery , an old heavy duty soldering iron , ideal for doing leaded glass work, a remote car alarm , a 5 lever mortice lock with 3 keys, a pull saw for wood , scraper for wood , hole saw arbor, feeler gauges , calipers , 3 files , couple a ratchet wrenches, a leather hole punch , milling cutter , couple of taps , a few drill bits, two pairs of safety goggles , 10 heavy duty rawl bolts, a tube of evostick glue , a tube of pvc weld glue ..... not bad haul
We both had a good laugh too , especially when I bought the reamers John had offered the bloke £15 for and the guy said no , he must have then regretted it , I then saw them , and said how much for them all he said £15 ........... I said I will give you £10 ..he must have been thinking he didnt want to regret missing a sale again so said £12 and I took them ..... much to John's dismay when I told him lol ..............there are several doubles so he will still be getting some of them anyway.
We drove back with the sound of all our bounty rattling away in the back of the car with smiles like Cheshire cats on out faces .......................Mission Acumplished
P.S before everyone rushes out to boot sales next weekend .................. normally its one blunt drill or something you already have three of , this was a good day indeed !
Cheers Mick.
