Any Jumble Sales on in your area?
We need to know of all JUMBLE SALES that are on over the next few days & weeks so we can pass the information on to our sellers and buyers. With an eye to the weather it's apparent not all of our planned outdoor Car Boot Sales will go ahead so if we can create a list of up-coming indoor Flea Markets/Jumble Sales it will be well received. Drop me a line to [email protected] with all the details and I will include the sales into this column. Times & Dates with admission costs and how much sellers will have to…A free gift sells for £125.00
This young couple wanted to sell some of their unwanted items to raise cash and a generous neighbour said 'you can have this organ FREE of CHARGE just take it away, honestly we don't want anything and it is in full working order What an offer, it didn't sell at Truro but oh yes it did at MITCHELL for £125.00 when the couple kindly delivered it to the buyer. What a BARGAIN for nowt, there are some nice people around and such generosity to young couples is creditable!Have you been injured?
Have you been injured? Many of you will remember in 2011 we used to run Car Boot Sales at Tretherras School in Newquay on Sunday mornings and whilst the sales were not as busy as we all hoped for it did raise some monies for the school. The sales were run by Jackie assisted by her two daughters Rachel and Becky and on the 13th of November they had carried out a security check to ensure ‘all was safe’ including the toilets before allowing the sellers in to set up their stalls. The day was a bit windy so the…Weekend gossips….8 pictures…
Friday at Falmouth came back to life at the Rugby grounds with 40 sellers and lots of buyers but the very poor car park surface and high winds did not do much for the stocks of the sellers, time and again we get complaints to improve and repair all the holes but club funds could not afford the costs for the whole area which would probably be up to forty thousand pounds. It’s still a good boot sale well supported by locals and the student population and it’s great to meet up with so many regulars we have know since…Got any gold please?
Two weeks ago I arrived at Truro where we had about 70 sellers queuing nice bright brisk and dry day but there was something wrong! I noticed there were two men of foreign tongue going along the queue of cars tapping on the windows and asking potential sellers "Have you any gold to sell" must be Rumanians I thought as I ejected them into the front car park with threats 'arse kicking if I see you again' join the rest of the queue like the other buyers! Wot a blood cheek! Our Dave would have gone BERSERK!GOOD MORNING!
Thank you to all of our loyal buyers who turned out to support the sellers who braved the piss-poor weather to sell at TRURO yesterday, I know there wasn't a lot of stalls but they certainly took good money from the comments at the end of the sale. Some of you will remember the chaos caused by the Fairground arriving at Newquay during our Car Boot Sale despite being asked to delay their visit until after our event, Louise I tried to reason with but found their ignorance and faces like a bags of spanners with miserable attitudes hard to…Why do I bother!
On Sunday I got up out of a warm bed to come to Truro and run a Car Boot Sale in the freezing bloody cold and windy day for just a couple of thousand people and I get FOUR complaints about the dust and the wind! And it's my fault! AND the four complaints came from the same WOMAN! I decided we would use the main selling field for the sale of seventy sellers because the whole of the sale is on view to passing motorists who break their journey and have followed out signs. I parked up the sellers…APRILS FOOLS DAY Car Boot Sales and its FREEZING!! Pictures for adult only (or kids)
GREAT DAY yesterday but FREEZING bloody cold but the 70 brave sellers were able to sell to almost 2000 men women and the kids BARGAINS GALORE! Today we are at Truro at 1.30pm so if you are selling WRAP UP well bring some bargains and look after your stocks! There could be some fake £20.00 notes so watch your taking and if you are unsure send the £20.00 to me for change!! It's April Fools Day and I am determined to catch her indoors out to get even with the Tesco's shirt ordeal she put me through? Go wake up…Yo wot a lovely day & GOSSIP!!
Today made life worth living with lovely warm sunshine plenty of happy faces and I was so chuffed to see some of the old gits that I seriously thought would not make it through the bloody rotten winter we have just kicked into touch. A great atmosphere returns to the famous MITCHELL and 70 sellers took realistic takings three that I spoke with had gone over the £100 quid's. But you always get one moaning Minnie who said that 50p was too much to charge admission as she clutched to armfuls of BARGAINS 'so I am thinking of charging for…WOW! Did you miss this BARGAIN!!
MASSIVE ORIGINAL GERMAN U BOAT BINOCULARS 8X60 BLC SERIAL NUMBER 2160784 ZEISS eBay Item number: 221205162837 One of the most regular dealers missed this absolute BARGAIN sold at CARN BREA Car Boot Sales last week for only FIVE POUNDS and I believe the selling price will be close to £2000.00 (that's TWO grand to you and me) as there is one full day to go to the end of the eBay listing. GOOD LUCK to the seller who has been totally fair to the buyer with an honest description of the World War 11 binoculars!! What about that Two thousand…Page 66 of 109
