I bought a cool piece of 70's jewellery for a dollar.

Kind of like this:

I picked up a monkey's paw at a car boot sale. With it came three wishes. Sounds good, right?
Wrong, it came at a price. But that's a tale for another thread.

You'd want to check the box. Think she sold it to me for 10 euro a few months back :pac:

Got great use out of this:

which I bought for 2euro at a car boot. It's a bicycle attachment for a buggy so a toddler could go on the bike part while a younger baby/todder is in the buggy. Everytime I was out people asked me where I bought it as they wanted one. Now the kids are older I have no use for it though.

Also bought a bonnetiere like this:

for 30Euro years ago but still love it.

I've bought loads of things at car boots, so has my husband though he mainly buys electronic stuff that I've no interest in.

I bought a car boot before.

Convinced my dad to buy me a funky looking glass paperweight years ago and it turned out to be worth a good bit of money. Well compared to what we bought it for anyway.
Never sold it though, and dropped it while I was moving last year, it got a little chip so Id say its worth significantly less now

Came a cross a 1600cc twin port air cooled moter in the boot of a 1972 VW Beetle
