I go every sunday for a browse, I keep picking up the odd tool, and bits of toys for the kids. My old man is an addict, and hoards all sorts of rubbish. He picked up a box of Railway memorabillia last year for £2 quid, I talked him into letting me list a few bits on ebay and the first thing i listed, a medal from the 1911 transport strikes went for £120 quid. Last month I put a lot of 13 matching brass buttons on from a rare line and they went straight to 75quid then I got loads of messages asking me to sell early for £300/400 quid. One nice ex collector contacted me and told me there were the Rocking horse sh it of the button collecting world and the last one sold for £1000 10 years ago, and I had 13. Unfortunatley now the collectors on ebay know about them I have killed some of the rarity value so Im having to sit on them and maybe sell one every year or so.

Micheal if you do any lawn seeding turfing or any kind of soil prep then don't sell that potato fork they're the best hand tool you can get for lifting stones and crumb off the soil. They really speed things along and save a lot of bending over.

during the past few weeks i've done countless runs to the local refuse site. like 20 runs.
I learned that all the boys that work there spend most of their time with their eyes wide open, and picking out anything of value from the ampi bins. It all goes to car boot sales, and lines their council working pockets. Old luggage, clothing, bags, boxes of tiles, half tubs of grout, tools.....they had it all stored waiting for the weekly car boot. they take it in turns to go, and anything with a wire that doesnt work etc is stripped for copper.
These boys are on to a minter !
