Are you going to ebay it?
You could make some serious cash with that. What condition is it in? |

Fantastic buy 
There was a car boot sale just across the road from me today! Why didn't I go 
|

| Fizzy |
Fantastic!!!
I never know what items are rare when I'm looking round, how did you know? Or did you just know that Zelda things are collectable? |
||||
| -E.A- |
I can't find any on ebay
What's the figure actually called 
|
||||
| Grinnerlynn |
there are none on ebay at the moment i had to search back via google to find any
Fizzy, i have been dabbling and dealing in books and collectables for about 18 years so have a good idea of what im looking for at bootsales
|

Thats an amazing find!! unlucky for the trader though | ||||
| Grinnerlynn |
thats why bootsales are fantastic
2 sundays ago we found a 1st edition of The Subtle knife by philip pullman for 20p I have it on ebay at £299 (have it on offers, we have had a £180 offer but holding out for £200 as it will sell when it sells)
|
||||
| RJ |
:O im off to every sale i can!! you must have a good eye for stuff after 18 years though so it would take time to be making these sort of trades | ||||
| Fizzy |
I wouldn't be able to remember all the rare books and collectables when I was out and about at carboots
You're very very good at what you do

Would you know what a "Narnia - Price Caspian" 1st edition but a bit tatered would be worth? |
||||
| Grinnerlynn |
i like to think so i started dabbling in books and collectables when i was 12, and started searching properly in my late teens, now its my main hobby and the extra pennies i make from our finds certainly are very welcome
put it this way we totally filled the car with finds today, although my living room now looks like a junk shop lol |
||||
| RJ |
Lol but it will be a junkyard worth alot lol
|
||||
| Fizzy |
I hope you have home insurance! | ||||
| Grinnerlynn |
gaara, can you tell me the date in prince caspian please and who the publisher is
|
||||
| Gaara |
Can't tell date or anything cuz im on holiday not where book is lol.. Never mind
|
||||
| Grinnerlynn |

|
||||
| Grinnerlynn |

||||
| -E.A- |

Are you sure it's geniune? |
||||
| Grinnerlynn |

|
||||
| -E.A- |

| Bradley |

|

| TJ |

|
||||
| Grinnerlynn |
embarressing???? you got to be kidding? the amount of teens i see on a sunday is unbelievable, not just searching the stalls, but also doing stalls. I think you might have an outdated view of bootsales
